Boring trivia,
By kennedy john FORESMAN (Paris, France.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life in Napoleon's Army: The Memoirs of Captain Elzear Blaze (Napoleonic Library) (Hardcover)

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.
