… the marching bearskins of the Guard behind a flaunting drum-major and the beards and axes of white-aproned Pioneers, the flaring red and blue of the Zouaves, trim shakoes of the Line, and green Chasseurs under the long bayonets, and little vivandieres in their gay regimental petticoats ; and then the mounted men came charging straight for the saluting-base in an immense line that ran clear across the racecourse, big, burnished Cuirassiers, helmeted Dragoons, light cavalry of every shade in bright accoutrements and all kinds of headgear, furred, frogged, and braided, with sling-jackets and without, all thundering towards them, until the racing horses checked at a shouted order, and all the sabres lifted above a roar of " Vive L'Empereur" in the June sunshine on a field ablaze with every colour … the painted army of a painted Emperor. Philip Guedalla – 'Two Marshalls, Bazaine and Petain'
