As readers of this Blog will know I have a soft spot for the little corporal - portrayed at this reenactment by an American, Marc Shneier, and this is one of his golden victories, won before Jean de l'epee thought he was invincible. Be sure to see the Speigel's article and gallery from whence these images come - I miss Napoleonic reenactment if only for the thrill of advancing at the beat of the drum, the smell of blackpowder, the thunder of hooves, the desire to go to toilet at inappropriate times... Result France 5 Prussia 0
