This regiment appeared in many of the major battles of the Peninsular War, including Sabugal, Fuentes d'Onoro and Salamanca, before being sent East to serve in the campaigns of 1813-14.

Using what was available, these are dressed for somewhat inclement weather.  They were intended to be a quick and easy job - by Napoleonics standards.  How wrong I was, these seemed to take far longer than intended.

But it brings the French up to 13 foot units now.  Which is real progress.

More hopefully to come this year yet!
