W. Hyde Kelly, The Battle of Wavre and Grouchy’s Retreat. (London, 1905), p. 100
At nightfall on 17 June, while Grouchy was at Gembloux, the whole of Blücher’s army (except two divisions—the 9th and 13th—and the reserve cavalry of Thielemann’s corps, which were posted as rearguards to the 3rd and 4th Corps) had reached Wavre and its neighbourhood. The 2nd and 3rd Corps bivouacked on the left bank of the Dyle, beyond Wavre, and the 1st and 4th on the right bank. Pirch. was between Saint-Anne and Aisemont; Bülow was at Dion-le-Mont. The rearguards were posted at Vieux-Sart and Mont-Saint-Guibert; these troops fell back the next day as the French advanced. On Blücher’s left, patrols scoured the country towards Namur and Louvain; on his right, they watched the Dyle and its approaches. Limale was held by a detachment from Ziethen’s corps to protect the right flank, and cavalry patrols rode to and fro all over the valley of the Dyle. The reserve ammunition columns with supplies reached Wavre in the afternoon of 17 June, and thus munitions for the artillery and infantry was replenished, and it speaks well for the Prussian arrangements that these supplies should have reached Wavre at so important a moment when, on account of their unexpected retreat to Wavre, all previous arrangements had to be cancelled.

Bülow commenced his march from Dion-le-Mont at daybreak on 18 June, around 4.00, with Losthin’s 15th Division as an advanced guard. Around 7.00, the division reached Wavre, but the crossing of the bridges over the Dyle occupied a long time, and a fire that had broken out in the main street of Wavre, through which the troops were marching, hindered the passage through the town. The advanced guard reached Saint-Lambert at about 10.30 and the main body arrived about midday, but the rearguard (Ryssef’s division) did not arrive until 15.00. Ziethen, on the left bank of the Dyle, marched for Ohain at noon. Blücher was uneasy about Grouchy’s strength, and was anxious to take his whole army towards Mont-Saint-Jean. He, however, appears to have been aware of the potential of an attack on his rear and flank. He therefore determined to leave Thielemann’s corps at Wavre to await Grouchy’s approach, and if the French were not in strength, Thielemann was to march to join the main body, leaving a small force in Wavre as a rearguard. Blücher himself, leaving Gneisenau to arrange matters at Wavre, rode on to Saint-Lambert at 11.00.
