However, I note a few errors concerning your French and allied formations: <br /><br />1/ The infantry and cavalry sappers are always part of the grenadier company of carabinieri or the elite company of the regiments of dragoons, hussars and hunters on horseback. <br /><br />2/ The regiment of Issembourg was created on November 1st 1805 as a light infantry regiment. <br />The lapels of the coat are therefore pointed. <br />After the Bardin reform of 1812, the facings were initially pointed and turned into a boot with facing flap. The uniform will retain its pointed lapels.<br /><br />3/ The battalion of Neuchâtel was created on May 11th 1807 as a light infantry unit. <br />It never wore the pre-Bardin "French" dress, but a dress with relatively high straight lapels revealing a white waistcoat and facings in pointe <br />From 1812 he wears the Bardin outfit which no longer shows the white waistcoat. <br />The bottom of the red rifleman's hairy cap decorated with a white grenade is correct but the regulations did not provide for a cord or racket even if the contemporary engravings of Wurtz and Carl attest to certain freedoms in this respect sometimes red sometimes white. <br />The cord and the sapper's rackets, always red, but the cord sometimes falls from right to left and sometimes the other way around.French Followerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161546193474800505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2575133464138898300.post-16907916659067153552016-05-21T12:19:09.916+02:002016-05-21T12:19:09.916+02:00Thanks !

I have to paint Spanish Dragoons next and have been thinking about the best way to achieve the yellow. <br /><br />I have a Neuchatel Battalion that I painted twenty years ago - and it shows. Was thinking of doing them again because they are so colourful, but in the end decided to stick with what I had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
