In the Osprey book "BrunswickTroops 1809-15" by Otto von Pivka, the
following appears:

        X Corps of the 1st German Army

        1st Westphalian Guards Division
        Commander: Divisionsgeneral Graf Bernterode
        1 Sqdn Garde du Corps  140men
        1 btn Grenadiergarde       840 men
        1 brn Jagergarde              600 men
        3 squadrons Chevaulegersgarde    550 men
        1 btn Jager-Carabiniers    360 men

        2nd Westphalian Division
        Commander: Divisionsgeneral D'Albignac
        1st Westphalian Line Inf Regt    1680 men
        5th Westphalian Line Inf Regt    1800 men
        6th Westphalian Line Inf Regt    1700 men
        1st Westphalian Kurassier Regt   260 men

There was also a Dutch division and a mixture of Bergisch and French line
inf  in Kassel, Hamurg and Magdeburg all of which were under Jeromes
command. Their main aim appears to be to prevent the Duke of Brunswick's
acivities in and around his old territories (stolen from him bt "the
Ogre!") but happily the Black Corps cut their way throught the Weser and
escaped.
