Looking for info on the Corsican light infantry> I have a plate that was sent to me but in truth it is very confusing concerning facings etc. Any help apprciated.

Just to be clear, Tyler. Are we talking about the Corsican units serving with the British, or the "Emperor's Cousins" in French service?

If it's the Royal Corsican Rangers you are after, there's this article. Though I myself would take the finer details within those uniform plates of the Corsicans with a pinch of salt.

They were dressed and armed as per 5th/60th Royal Americans. I would think that the uniform details would be very similar too.
