Marshal Lannes managed to duck that cannonball at Aspern-Essling.<br />2. The 1812 French uniform issue actually happened in 1805.<br />3. All French Fusiliers were issued with blue pompoms.<br />4. Poniatowski was an olympic standard swimmer.<br />5. The British fought the French at Borodino.<br />All the above seem somehow just right for this project!<br /><br />Cheers<br />IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-33021405436720731882011-08-14T13:03:03.907+01:002011-08-14T13:03:03.907+01:00Hello Ian,

The entire unit has blue pompoms because that's what was shown in my Blandford when I was 12 - I had no idea about company colours back then. I can't give you the prize for pedantry because I know you're not being pedantic!<br /><br />IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-90141561828071477102011-08-11T23:55:13.656+01:002011-08-11T23:55:13.656+01:00I want to win the prize for pedantry here so:

How come he features as part of the emperor's glittering staff when the other troops are infantry in 1812 uniforms and lancers in 1812 issue kit.<br />2) And modt picky of all, why are the line regt all sporting blue pompoms on their shakos insterade of the company colours, blue, orange, green white?<br /><br />Roy<br />(That should kick uo a storm)lewisgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935143236897047636noreply@blogger.com
