| - The 84th Line Infantry Regiment is an infantry unit of the French Army. It was heir of the Quercy Regiment and the 9th Light Regiment, created in 1684. In December 1795 the 84e demi-brigade was created from the 36e and 116e demi-brigades as well as a battalion of Orleans volunteers. It fought in Switzerland and Germany and with distinction at the Battle of Höchstädt (1800).The third battalion was sent to Santo Domingo and later became part of the 82e ligne, the first two battalions as well as the third battalion of the 89e demi-brigade became part of the new 84e ligne. In 1805 it was part of Marmont's II corps and fought at the Battle of Ulm and The Battle of Austerlitz after Austerlitz Marmot's corps was sent to Illyria (modern Croatia) and served as the garrison there until 1809. In 1809 the regiment was transferred to Prince Eugene's Army of Italy and took part in the defeat at Sacile and the victory on the piavac River but gained everlasting fame for its actions at the Battle of Graz on the 25th of June. Two battalions of the 84e under Colonel Gambin were dispatched to take the town and drive of the enemy who were believed to be few in number. The action began at night and Gambin's men soon found that there were more than just a few Austrians in Graz. They first took the church and 400 Croatian prisoners, who they locked in the church. They threw back a series of disjointed counterattacks by the Croatian Insurrection ([Landwehr]) and Austrian regulars but began to run out of ammunition and had to take rounds from the dead Austrians. At 3 pm a much more serious attack took place and the 84e almost lost its eagle standard, and lost its battalion guns. After 17 hours of fighting against a far superiour force, the situation was desperate but the rest of Boussier's Division arrived just in the nick of time and the 84e survived and was awarded the distention of "Un Contre Dix" (One Against Ten) on its flag. In 1812 it was part of the IV Corps in Russia and fought at the Battle of Smolensk (1812), Battle of Borodino, and the Battle of Maloyaroslavets, where it again fought with great distinction as the town changed hands eight times and General Alexis Delzons was killed leading the regiment during the battle. Reformed in 1813 it again served in Italy at the Battle of Feistritz, and the Battle of Caldiero. In 1815 two battalions fought at The Battle of Waterloo as part of the VI Corps, taking part in the battle for Placenoit.

- O 84º Regimento de Infantaria é uma unidade de infantaria do Exército francês. Herdeiro do "Regimento Quercy" criado em 1684 por Luis XIV e do 9º Regimento Ligeiro, o qual recebeu o titulo de "Incomparável" por Napoleão Bonaparte. Sua ação mais notória deu-se durante a Batalha de Graz, no dia 26 de Junho de 1809 dois batalhões defenderam o cemitério de uma igreja por muitas horas contra milhares de soldados austríacos. Por fim, o regimento rompeu o cerco e escapou de seus inimigos. A custa de três oficiais e 31 homens mortos, cerca de 200 feridos e 40 capturados, eles infligiram aproximadamente 500 baixas aos austríacos. Em homenagem à bravura excepcional do regimento nesta ocasião, o 84º foi autorizado a adicionar as palavras „UN CONTRE DIX“ ("Um Contra Dez") em sua bandeira. (pt)
