I've recently bought the AB mounted Napoleon and staff set. I found a picture of a painted set – does anyone know what the guy in green, wearing the cap, is from this pic? Also, is the mameluke a generic soldier or a specific person? |

He is one of Napoleon's valet. A general servant, not military as such. Napoleon's personal mamaluke was called Roustam.

The guy in green looks like he's about to compete in the 3:15 at Newmarket! |

I thought the same Cerdic. Vaughan, thank you – very helpful. |

Probably Constant, or unamed valet. |

Camcleod; all I get from your links is a log in screen for armchair general. |

The figure in green is Constant the valet. Depending on the time frame the Imperial orderly officers would either be in green or steel blue uniforms. |
