Formed in 1803, the 105e was of ancestry back to 1675. The 105e was even a prestigeous regiment du roi. The 105e particapated in Napoleons fantastic Jena campaign, reiceiving its first Battle Honor. After Jena it took part in the bloody battles of Eylau and Heilsberg against the Russians, were it earned another two battle honors due to the regiment's fantastic performance. At Wagram the regiment did a daring maneuvre. Instead of losing momentum by ordering a square, he [Saint-Hilaire] commanded the trusty 105e Line to face to the flank, told the drummers to beat the pas de charge, and advanced against the enemy horsemen. Infantry charging cavalry was thing rarely attempted. It demanded great resolution. The 105e met the challenge and drove off the startled Austrian heavy horse. For this the regiment earned its 4th and final battle honor.

December Reform It all started when Repo joined the 105e Régiment d'Infanterie de Ligne back in the early 2013's. This regiment had four brigades, the regular line infantry, grenadiers, voltiguers, and artillery. I was just a mere recruit for the artillery division, after the reforming of the old 2nd FGR.
After a month Repo decided to leave the 105e Artillerie Brigade, for several (and personal) reasons.
Two and a half year later, I made my own artillery detachment for the 89th (The Princess Victoria's) Regiment of Foot. I even got five members from the old 105e to join my Artillery Detachment.
After a while playing with the 89th, me and my men decided that being in a detachment is not our playstyle. A month later, after thinking about several options, I gained the thrive to raise the banner of the 105e again,
Hoping to bring glory and notoriety to our name once more.
