    Alex, it was common practise in the heat of battle for the napoleonic and penninsular french armies to finish off their enemies wounded or otherwise. At La Haye Sante on the Waterloo battlefield French soldiers killed the KGL wounded, Nassau Brigade Landwehr prisoners had their throats slit at either Hougoumont or Papellotte when the French Cuirassiers position was threatened.

    I'm sure that it happened on the British side as well, it happened in Spain and Portugal where Wellington ordered British soldiers to be shot if they continued in that vein.
