Out of curiosity, does anyone have any idea what ranks were used by the Polish voltigeurs and artillery? I imagine the former used the Foot system?

I hope this thread is still active. It seems to be the most recent rank thread :)

I thought I'd add some historically correct Danish ranks (even though I will probably personally come into contact with any future Danish regiments). They are all sourced from Den Danske Hær i Napoleonstiden 1801-1814 - Håndbog om uniformer, faner, udrustning og krigshistorie by Hans Christian Wolter, Helge Scheunchen, Ole L. Frantzen and Christian Würgler Hansen. There were no direct mentions of the ranks, so I've had to glean them from uniform descriptions and as I've only added those that I am fairly certain about it is incomplete. The artillery officer's ranks and the cavalry non-commisioned officer's ranks might just be the same as the others but I can't say for sure, so I'd rather leave them out.

Line infantry:
