Switzerland- Lucerne- – 140

Around 760 of the Swiss Guards defending the Tuileries were killed during the fighting^[6] or massacred after surrender.^[5] This number is possibly too high, according to late 20th-century research.^[7] An estimated two hundred more died in prison of their wounds or were killed during the September Massacres that followed.^[8] Apart from about a hundred Swiss who escaped from the Tuileries, the only survivors of the regiment were a 300 strong detachment which had been sent to Normandy (under the king’s orders) to escort grain convoys a few days before August 10.^[9] The Swiss officers were mostly amongst those massacred, although Major Karl Josef von Bachmann — in command at the Tuileries — was formally tried and guillotined in September, still wearing his red uniform of the Guard. Two surviving Swiss officers achieved senior rank under Napoleon.^[9]
