In the heat of battle this Guardsman has lost or removed his tall bearskin cap.
Of all Napoleon’s army none was more famous or as respected as the Emperor’s Grenadiers of his Imperial Guards. During the time of his reign Napoleon’s Imperial Guard enjoyed many nicknames ... “Les Grognards” (the Grumblers) being the most famous.
The Guard enjoyed better pay, rations, quarters and equipment than the rest of the army. That was because they were the ‘chosen few’ ... selected from the best and most experienced infantrymen of the army and already veterans of many previous battles and campaigns.
