Photos of La Grande Armee Vets

Sat Dec 01, 2007 11:18 pm

Some of you may have seen these photos before, but I thought some of NCP players would be interrested in these very old images taken between 1850 and 1860 as these oldtimers (vieux de la vieille in french) were 70 or 80 years old.

There are probably more treasures still sleeping somewhere in the archives in France or elsewhere, who knows ?

They still look pretty tough in their old age! True grognards!

I have already posted these photos but not from the original web site (Anne's Brown site). Still interesting.
