These references might be of interest:

-Between the Imperial Eagles: Sweden's Armed Forces during the Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars 1780-1820 by various author contributors (19).

-Den Danske Haer I Napoleonstiden 1801-1814 by Hans Christian Wolter, Helge Scheunchen, Ole Frantzen and Christian Wurgler Hansen.

-The Danish Army of the Napoleonic Wars 1801-1814, Volume I by David Wilson.

-The Danish Army of the Napoleonic Wars 1801-1814, Volume II by David Wilson.

And the following might be useful to understand why Denmark entered the war on the side of the French:

From Denmark to "New" Zealand?

Now that takes folks with a bit of imagination. I gather Denmark in 1864 was a bit dodgy (I have the series on BluRay) but I would have thought that most, getting out, ended up in Ellis Island.

But I guess that is how NZ got its name, even if exactly on the other side of the globe.

The Danish Auxiliary Corps served with Davout in 1813-1814.

Johann Ewald, who was a Hessian jager officer serving with the British in North America against the Americans, left the Hessian service upon his return to Hesse-Cassel as he could not get promotion in that service.

He transferred to the Danish service and became a general officer and died in 1813.

He left a valuable memoir of his service in America and also wrote a treatise on light infantry.
