I'm an idiot, and – for some reason – want to add these battalions to my nascent Imperial Guard. (I have some plastics, and the kit to modify them.) What was the moustache policy? I can't seem to find a clear answer. If this question has been asked in a previous thread, I apologize – I just didn't see it. |

According to my sources, the two units formed in 1809 followed the rules of uniform and equipment of Fusiliers Grenadiers de la Garde, and Boisselier and other military artists show them with moustaches. |

Moustaches it is, then. A happy circumstance, since I happen to have more moustached heads, anyway. Thanks! |
