1.0 out of 5 stars Boring trivia, October 14, 2000
This review is from: Life in Napoleon's Army: The Memoirs of Captain Elzear Blaze (Napoleonic Library) (Hardcover)
I also have Elting's translation, which is better than Napier's, but the question that comes to mind is why did Elting bother to translate this rambling, disjointed and trivial work, when a translation already existed? Blaze's banter and anecdotes often refer to periods prior to 1789. In all the work there is but one interesting uniform detail: captains & field officers of the Young Guard flanker regiments wore their former blue Old Guard uniforms while the rest wore green. I would go into more detail but my 1,000 word review seems to be limited to 1,000 letters.
