		Gneisenau was at Jena and then made his reputation in 1806 with a fine defence of Colberg against Napoleon Bonaparte's troops.

		During the 100 Days' Campaign, Gneisenau's distrust of the British came to the fore and after the defeat at Ligny was all for abandonning the Duke of Wellington and his army and retreating towards Prussia.
