[edit] One or two armies

Currently the text states:

The Armée du Nord is often mistakenly regarded as separate from Armée de la Réserve (Reserve Army), which it fought beside during the 1815 campaign. In fact the Armée de la Réserve was simply a large corps of the Armée du Nord that Napoleon placed directly under his command.

I think that if the text is to remain as it is then a reliable source should be used to make the point as it is not a neutral point of view. If not then the sentences should be re-written to reflect a neutral point of view:

Some sources list the reserves as a large constituent corps of the Armée du Nord under the direct command of Napoleon, other sources list it as a separate army called Armée de la Réserve (Reserve Army).
