Description:
New book, 240 pages, many colour photos of equipment, colour illustrations and colour artworks. This book aims to present a picture of Cuirassier Officers of the First Empire. Only French and foreign soldiers who served with officer rank within a French Cuirassier regiment during the Empire have been included here. The officers are shown here according to their complete patronymic, mentioning where appropriate the name that was used the most or their nicknames. Each entry includes the date of birth, and the place if known, the dates of promotions, successive transfers, wounds and feats of arms where known. The entries were compiled using the registers and the rolls of the officers of the fourteen cuirassier regiments which existed between 1804 and 1815; in each entry we have shown how the names of the regiments changed.
