I posted on TMP already the link, but the controle de troupes for the 45e Ligne in 1815 is online. The names of the 2e and 3e Porte Aigle and other men can be found there.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343919946613936193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397105236658986188.post-62873512110554994482020-06-24T08:02:06.432-07:002020-06-24T08:02:06.432-07:00Thank you very much, James and John!Thank you very much, James and John!Lord Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969238321145835849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397105236658986188.post-71422244919196318702020-06-23T13:15:51.228-07:002020-06-23T13:15:51.228-07:00absolutely amazing that you are still at it! great...absolutely amazing that you are still at it! great stuff.john de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397105236658986188.post-22680746590388194952020-06-20T23:15:29.276-07:002020-06-20T23:15:29.276-07:00Beautiful.

But I like the helmets so much I decided that these guys had held onto theirs. Besides, as I say in the text, I would argue it seems debatable that there were any Port Aigles with halberds at all.Lord Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969238321145835849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397105236658986188.post-79654524786170773742020-06-18T06:34:14.915-07:002020-06-18T06:34:14.915-07:00Simply an amazing feat.
