Trees from Oregano

Pat Ripley Fezian is after something that has presence, that actually looks like a small stand of tropical bushes, and is cheap, tough and portable.

All the while I was fighting with the Russian Grenadier corps to the south of our main army, my brother, a member of Marshal D'Erlons staff, was fighting to the north. I will let his letters describe the events …

"D'Erlons corps was little more than a couple of regiments of infantry and cavalry and 2 batteries of guns. They had split off a number of elements along the march to garrison key points as the army moved deeper into Russia. The Emperor knew the roads to the north of the line of advance need to stay open. He ordered D'Erlon to move parallel to the main army and agressively engage any enemy attempting to get around our lines and into the rear. To aid him, Napoleon attached a division of light cavalry from the Guard. This decision was to prove very important.
