Can anyone advise me of the organisation of the Line infantry sappers please?
Any comments appreciated. Thanks |

Nafziger suggests that at battalion HQ level from 1803 there were: 1 x Sapper Corporal & 6 sappers.
From 1810 the grenadier or cazadore company had 6 sappers attached, with none at battalion HQ level. |

Agreed! 1 x Sapper Corporal & 6 sappers per battalion. If you are interested in the Spanish Army I would highly reccomend the two books by G.CRONIN & S.SUMMERFIELD link link |

Thank you for the information. Appreciated. I did purchase a copy of Cronin / Summerfield book on infantry but that I am unable to locate at the moment. My primary interests are standard bearers and sappers of all the various armies during the Napoleonic period. |

Search of unlikely places at home has located the book. |
