I don't think it google translate scanned pages, Vince  ;)

I'll have a look at it when I can. Probably take one company from each of the three batallions and quickly find out when they left the regiment.
One thing I find strange is that it had three battalions - I always thought Guard troops always had only two. #TheMoreYouKnow

Intiresting. Im currently taking french 1 so im only picking up a couple words. My primary focus is on the 3rd company 2nd battalion.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Battlefield seems far too small considering the amount of cavalry and infantry....

Jesus wept that battlefield is way too small for cavalry!

Duuring the FSE researcher.  :D

You bet!

15e Voltiguers, 2nd Bat, 2rd company.
1 Sergeant-major
4 Sergeants
1 Fourrier
7 Corporals (There's an eight mentioned but he apparently didn't make it to the regiment)
151 Privates
2 drummers

Of the 164 men that were gathered around the 16th and 19th of February, by the end of March, 24 were left, 10 of which NCO's. 95 men fell behind, 9 deserted, 17 went to Paris (depot or hospitel) and 3 to Rheims.
At Laon (9-10 May) they lost 3 KIA, 12 wounded, and 11 missing. A further 8, some of the men fallen behind and even one deserted, died in hospitals.

This research was done rather quickly, so I probably did a miscount one or two times, but I think it's pretty cool. Or, as Millander would say; Neat.

I only have French and Dutch records. Try Berlin.

That, if they didn't get bombed in WW2.

24 able men. Officially only 9 men deserted, and then 95 men went missing. And 20 stayed or went to the depot. So technicly, it 'only' lost 2 KIA, 12 wounded, 9 deserters and 95 Missing, for a total of 118 men.

What remained of the company was received a discharge in the months after the peace.

Looking forward to Ickworth house on Friday, although I'm arriving about 5 hours before everyone else...

Well, looking like a pleasant morning of firewood collecting and debating the life choices that led me pretend to be a French Napoleonic infantryman
