17e Régiment d'InfanterieHistory
At the height of the French Revolution, every French regiment was assigned a number according to the age of their formation. This caused the régiment d’Auvergne to become the 17e régiment d’infanterie. When it was formed, it was orignianlly known as the 17e demi-brigade de bataille which consisted of the 1st battalion of the 9e régiment d'infanterie de ligne , the 2nd battalion of volunteers of the department of India, 3rd battalion of volunteers of Seine-Inférieure.3 years after the formation of the 17e in 1796 parts of the French army merged together and then consisted of the 33e régiment d'infanterie, 1er bataillon du 17e régiment d’infanterie, 5e bataillon de volontaires de la Sarthe and 1er bataillon de volontaires colonial of Port-au-Prince), 178e demi-brigade de bataille (2e bataillon du 99e régiment d'infanterie, 6e bataillon de volontaires de Nord and de volontaires de la Seine-Inférieure), demi-brigade d'Eure and Landes (3e bataillon de volontaires de la Eure, 5e bataillon de volontaires de la Landes and 6e bataillon de volontaires de la Haute-Garonne). Throughout Napoleon Bonaparte's restructuring of the French army the 17e demi-brigade de bataille then became the 17e régiment d’infanterie de ligne ready to serve throughout the Napoleonic wars and throughout the war, the 17e played a big part in the Battle of Austerlitz, Battle of Jena and Battle of Borodino to name a few.
Going past the Napoleonic wars in 1854 the regiment loses the "de ligne" on it's name as part of the changing warfare system of Europe at the time, and by WW1 when France was mobilizing in 1914, the 17e gave birth to the 217e régiment d'infanterie who fought throughout the war and Finally in 1921 the 17e régiment d’infanterie was abolished after 128 years of service to the French empire.
