Here our unit forms the center of the 3rd Prussian Brigade as we march to take a bridge at Leipzig. Pushed back three times we finally gain the ground with the aid of a Swiss regiment who changed sides towards the end of the battle.
I have been back a day already but I am still on a high from the event. Re-enacting in England I am used to seeing just a few units of French on the field, I was blown away by the numbers on the weekend. Thousands of Frenchmen in massive regiments of every shape and description.
The noise of our Brigade charging at the point of bayonet still gives me a little shiver when I think of it.
When you get a realy big reeanctment together its absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks brilliant fun!
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! I know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteStunning sight and apart from the lady in blue superb in period action, you can see how everyone is sort of struggling to stay "in line" even in for warstandards perfect conditions, now imagine, hunger, thirst, lots of smoke not to mention real musketballs flying around and you start to see what absolute mayhem this kind of warfare must have been.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic experience

What an amazing scene. It could be right out of the real battle - but for that one particular lady. Hehe.
It looks like it was a truly memorable epic of a day. :)
