hi all & my friend rmorecook

That made a long time that I did not comment this video & extracts taken on my own videos by rmorecook

it are drawn from the mini-serie TV of the 70's on the real life of Jean-Roch Coignet (JRC) Captain of the Imperial Guard

The 1st part testifies to the departure for the camp of Boulogne (1804)

& the 2sd in Grand Uniform of the Imperial Guard testifies to the return of the campaign of Spain & the passage of JRC in the village where he was born

[cumbas]

for more videos about this mini-serie & the Napoleonic time see my playlists on my channel :-)

[rmorecook]

@cumbas Thank you!

[cumbas]

@rmorecook

;-)

[cumbas]

I add that this slow step of the Imperial Guard will inspire later to its creation another famous French Troops :

THE FFL (French Foreign Legion ^^)

[38angele]

@cumbas FFL = Force Française Libre = wwII

[cumbas]

@38angele

euh oui je sais très bien cela et je suis d'accords bien sûr...

Mais j'écris là à des anglophone et en anglais (ou j'essaie du moins ^^) et je me situe donc en anglais et dans cet esprit 'FFL" dans le sens de ma phrase pour "French Foreign Legion", "French" pour la différencier de l'hispanique Légion étrangère espagnole

CQFD

[cumbas]

@38angele

je sais trop bien entre autre parce que mon père, et mes grands-parents paternels étaient membres des FFL durant la 2ème GM

[38angele]

@cumbas oki je te comprend bien, mais sa fait un anacronisme, tu voie se que je veux dire. et je parle avec des americain on parle de la legion. le truc c'est que si je leur dit legion etrangere ils comprennent tout de suite que je parle de la notre. on pas vraiment dire legion etrangere pour les espagnol. car eux c'est juste la legion c'est tout. et puis si tu dit legion etrangere, le renom de la legion est internationnal tout le monde la connais

[gobanito]

I can just imagine this same sight when the first French troops entered Berlin after Jena-Auerstadt.

[spacesoviet59]

Does someone knows the name of the first march they are playing?

[tipitjo]

@spacesoviet59 Its la Marche des Bonnets à Poils, you can see it on my YouTube videos

[MaxRWF]

In campaign dress : 1:08

In full dress : 1:36

[BlindandGore]

Video and audio exist in Napoleonic times how impressive and remarkable!

[gobearcubies]

wonderful!!!!!!!! Many Thanks!!!!

[cumbas]

and in the end (after 1:36) the comeback in France after the campaign of Spain

[cumbas]

this extract shows the departure for the "Camp of Boulogne" in 1804

See here on my playlist about this serie for example

[cumbas]

so, i'm very curious to know how an USA guy have this extract of this french mini-serie of the 70's about the live of The Captain "Jean Roch Coignet" (JRC)

it's rare to seek it even in France and we are few guy and fan of Empire to have extracts or the series in entirety like me for example ^^ (see my playlist for more extracts about the true live of JRC engaged private soldier in 1799 and who finishes Capitaine of the Imperial Guard in 1815)

[cumbas]

this march of the Imperial Guard was adopted later especially by the...

French Foreign Legion (FFL)

yes it's the rhythm step of the marchs of the FFL ^^

[esnacionalis]

exellent band, and march
