* {{note label|Conroux|Note 5|5}}It formed the first brigade of General [[Jean Victor Tharreau]]'s 1st division of II Corps.{{sfn|Castle|1990|p=22}}
* {{note label|Advance Guard|Note 6|6}}The full complements of the Advance Guard on 4 July 1809 had included some 22 cavalry squadrons (2,500 men), 23 infantry battalions (11,500 men) and 48 guns.{{sfn|Castle|1990|p=20}}
* {{note label|Grand Battery|Note 7|7}}Sources provide various figures regarding the number of guns forming the grand battery. The 25th Bulletin of the ''Grande Armée'', which recounts the facts of the Battle of Wagram, indicates that it was formed of 100 guns and this figure is indicated by most historians, with some putting the figure as high as 112 guns. Recent research shows that both these figures are exaggerated and more realistic estimates place the number of guns at either 72, 80 or 84. André Masséna, a highly credible source and also a man who was in the vicinity of the battery at the time when it was deployed, places its complement at 84 pieces: 60 pieces of the Guard artillery and 24 of the "Army of Italy". Despite claims from some authors that the cannon of the Bavarian division were also a part of the battery, there is actually no source contemporary to the battle supporting that claim.<ref name="Naulet 56"/>
