Soldiers of the Napoleonic era march through a small town led by a military band. The pace is the slow step - which was also used by the US Army during the Revolutionary War. Credit goes to youtube user cumbas for the original video

  • 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

  • @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

    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

  • marvelous Cumbas!!!! merci beaucoup pour ces vidéos

  • 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 ^^)

  • @rmorecook

    ;-)

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

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