In 1799, Napoleon seized power in France and in 1806, after defeating the Empire of Austria, he set up the Confederation of the Rhine, which included Phillips Bemiller's homeland. In
1807 at the age of 18, he was drafted into Napoleon' army. Phillip saw service in many battles and upon at least one occasion was severly wounded. Phillip with "Comrade" holding out his hand as if to shake. As Phillip reached for his hand, the villan suddenly shifted positons and charged with his sword. The thrust was warded off but Phillip received a long severe wound in his arm. When asked what he did to the scoundrel, he replied " I cut him down as a weed." As result of his wound he had a terrible scar which served him as a life long reminder of the incident.
Phillip took part in the Russian campaign of 1812. Of the 600,000 men in Napoleon's forces that marched on Moscow only 250,000 returned to their homeland, Phillip being in this number. During the retreat from Moscow, Phillip told of the cold and the hardships. He said that when they got to the great river, (probably the Dnieker), they found it swollen out of it's banks and filled with floating ice and only a small band succeeded in crossing the river.
The end of the Napoleon era took place in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo when Napoleon was defeated by the British and her allies under the Duke of Wellington.
