Hi, I apologise for the english, I come from Australia and do not read or write German. I am interested in the 1809 campaign of the Napoleonic wars and have based my Austrian force on FML Colloredo, GM Lutz Brigade. I would like some help finding websites that have pictures or descriptions of Kis Megyer farm and the battle of Raab.

The burning building on the left is the stall and the building on the right side of the picture is the granary, seen from the Austrian rear.

The building on the left is the granary, however there\'s a photo of the granary in John H. Gill\'s \'Thunder on the Danube\' Volume 3 which shows that the granary is much longer than depicted here. With 6-7 windows in a row instead of 3, maybe it\'s just covered in smoke.
