10e Legere 1809

Hello everyone,

Just finished the Napoleonist podcast with John Gill and really enjoyed listening. I got motivated to finish editing the uniforms for the Carabiniers, Chasseurs, and Voltigeurs. I decided to give all the variations that are known for this regiment. Frederic Berjaud site explains well the most likely uniform for this time period http://frederic.berjaud.free.fr/Articles_de_Didier_Davin/10eLeger/10e%20Leger.htm I also used the Otto Manuscript, Commandant Bucquoy plates, Petit Soldats de Strasbourg, and the Carl Collection, Knotel, and the Zimmermann manuscript as sources.

Also, below you will find the names of the men wounded at the battle of Thann. The information comes from XB file for the 10e Legere in 1809 that I posted a few months ago.
