La moyenne garde a mené le front de l'attaque et la vieille est resté en soutient légèrement en arrière. C'est suite à la débacle de la moyenne garde puis de l'armée que la vieille garde a protégé la retraite. En formant des carrés notamment comme tu le dis et en l'occurrence Cambronne était dans le 1er régiment de chasseurs de la vieille garde si je ne m'abuse :) La vieille garde est la seule a avoir conservé sa discipline dans la débacle.
