SCHOOL OF THE SOLDIER: FRENCH REGLEMENT OF 1791 (1)

1-222701

Facsimile 1803 edition fully illustrated with b/w figs., 16 color uniform plates.

First volume begins project of reprinting the 1803 edition drill book (translated by John Macdonald) that was used by the French Army throughout the Napoleonic Wars. We re-worked the information to make it more accessible and useful (by combining the plates and text relevantly together).

This is the first of the three parts of the original Reglement and covers the drill exercises taught to all new recruits. It is thus the basis of all company drill and maneuvers. There will follow the School of the Platoon and the School of the Battalion.
