My twin brother has ask me to finish 4 battalions of Austrian Infantry for him as he is swamped at work. He wants troops from Colloredo's 1st corp of the Army of Bohemia at Leipzig. The information I have on Austrians dose not cover 1813, as many names of the Colonels changed with time.
Can any one supply me with the regiment numbers and or color facings of the 1st brigade ,2nd division …regiments Froon and Devaux or 1st brigade ,3rd division …regiments prinz de ligne and Czartorisky. Runicus |
