... a picture

of Cuirassier

officers of the

First Empire. Only

French and foreign

soldiers who served

with officer rank within a

French Cuirassier

regiment during the Empire have

been included here. The officers

of the provisional regiments have not been

forgotten either.

The officers are shown here according

to their complete patronymic, mentioning

where appropriate the name that was used

the most or their nickname.

Each entry includes the date of birth with, if known,

the place ; the dates of promotions, successive

transfers, wounds and feats of arms where known.

The entries were compiled using the registers

and the rolls of the officers of the fourteen

cuirassier regiments which existed between

1804 and 1815 ; in each entry we have

also shown how the names of the regiments

changed. The regiments' various

campaigns do not appear in each

individual entry; instead they have been

re-grouped by regiment at the end

of the study.
