Napoleon's Line Infantry Paperback - 1983

by Philip Haythornthwaite; Bryan Fosten (Illustrator)


From the publisher

Napoleon's line infantry was founded upon that of the Ancien Rgime. A total re-organisation began on 1 January 1791 with the abolition of the old regimental titles, and over the next two years an increasing number of conscript and volunteer battalions were formed. Their quality varied from the proficiency of the early National Guard regiments to the untrained and ill-equipped rabble of the leve. To combine the discipline and steadiness of the regular army with the revolutionary fervour of the new army, the Amalgame was decreed on 21 February; by this measure each regular battalion became the nucleus of a new Demi-Brigade.

First line

Napoleon's line infantry was founded upon that of the Ancient Regime, comprising (in 1789) 79 French and 23 foreign regiments, each of two battalions (the 28th had four), with the artillery ranking as the 64th line, and 22 provincial regiments and 78 garrison battalions as the 97th.
