Thanks for posting that Armand. I have a special interest in the Imperial Gendarmerie, especially as the French Dromedary Regiment was put into the Gendarmerie when they returned from Egypt.

A votre service mon cher ami!. (smile)

Yes an excellent summary of people and events not just the Legion de l'elite.

For a unit I determined was insignificant for gaming purpose, and therefore was not to model in anyway- once research and actual deployment taken into account, not least the 'escort' of dignitaries and security of the E-M-Generale persuaded me that some must appear.

This paper confirms their further deployment across the Corps and indeed all military established 'places' more formally. Great find!

*Now- I still have to find out how Duroc may have been dressed in his multiple hats role? I'm already considering making multiple models for his command/ ADC roles.

Davout's cavalry commander at Auerstadt was late to the action, so Davout used his detachment of gendarmes in their place and they attacked and captured a battery of Prussian artillery.

Thanks!.
