Fuentes d' Onoro
I am reading David Buttery's book "Wellington against Massena" and thoroughly enjoying it too . However in the chapters on Fuentes d'Onoro he mentions attacks by "Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard" and "Grenadiers of the Young Imperial Guard". None of the orbats that I have for the battle show any Guard Infantry units so who does he mean ? Alan

Alan, They are neither - the units in question are the combined Grenadier battalions of the Line and Light units (-Grenadiers Réunis-) - wearing their bearskins! :roll: DB

Dave, Thanks, that's what i thought but being an 1809 Italian type I wasn't going to stick my neck out before asking !
