French infantry book


Been enjoying this English language book on the French infantry that Andre of the Chasseurs a Pied sent a link to - lots of useful information on everything like meals and the content of the knapsack - author was in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and it's amusing to see his horror at some of the French habits.

FRENCH INFANTRY; AND MEMORANDA REVIEW OF THE ARMY IN PARIS, AT THE "FEAST. OF EAGLES," IN MAY 1852. WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AND DIAGRAMS. BY

COLONEL ARTHUR WELLESLEY TORRENS

    Great find! Thank you. I like the Grande Tenue of the Vivandiere.
