Line Infantry 1811
The line infantry was the backbone of
Napoleon's Grande Armée. The “shako” headgear adopted in 1806, replacing bicorn hats, and the Charleville
1777 musket, are the most characteristic elements of French line infantry. The
equipment was completed by the briquet, a sort of infantry short sword. The kit
also includes the regiment's drummer and the “eagle-bearer” carrying the
regiment's insignia.
