Does anyone know whether the Westphalian Guard Grenadiers had a 4 company establishment like the French Imperial Guard or a 6 company establishment like the rest of the Westphalian and French armies? I'd appreciate any information anyone can provide.
Thanks. |

The Westphalian Guard Grenadier Battalion had six combat companies and one depot company. It was built around a cadre of German-speaking French veterans. |
