This is the first full-length detailed study of the uniforms,
organization, personnel and campaigns of the numerous Swiss units
that served in the armies of Revolutionary, Directorate, and
Imperial France from the campaigns of 1798 in Switzerland until the
Hundred Days of 1815. The author covers not just the regulation
uniforms but also the numerous variations recorded in contemporary
documents and plates. The uniforms of the Tete de Colonne could
change from issue to issue and year to year and the author has
tried to cover all of these known changes. Estimates of the number
of Swiss who served in the French Army from 1798-1815 vary from
fifty to ninety thousand - numbers that makes the Swiss the largest
non-French nationality in the Imperial Armies. There have been many
studies of these units published in France and Switzerland but this
is the first full-length study to be published in England.
