Here we see Napoleon himself dressed in the uniform of a Colonel of Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard. It was the Chasseurs of the Guard who usually provided the personal escort to the Emperor and he often wore the regiment’s uniform in recognition of their loyal service.Josephine meanwhile is gracefully attired in a pale blue and delicately embroidered ‘classical-styled’ dress complete with a wine velvet ‘manteau’ edged with ermine and decorated with gold, hand-sewn motifs.

Napoleon himself stands before his map table (plus 2 x maps). By his side, two of his many Aide de Camps (ADC’s) awaiting orders. - See more at: http://www.kingandcountry.com/emperor-aide-camps-p-10615.html#sthash.IYjoQXFk.dpuf

Some of the parts on this gun were interchangeable with those of the 12-pounder. Almost 1,000 of these guns were employed by Napoleon’s artillery.

Pierre Jacques Etienne Cambronne was one of the French heroes of Waterloo. He became a Lieutenant General in Napoleon’s Imperial Guard and led his men into action at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. Towards the end of the battle he was wounded as he stood in the midst of one of his battalion’s squares. As the surrounding British called on him to surrender, Cambronne replied tersely, “Merde!” Other more polite sources say he responded with “The Guard dies it does not surrender!” In French of course. This new K&C figure portrays the defiant Cambronne, sword in hand and with fierce anger in his eyes..

The Emperor Napoleon was surrounded by Aide de Camps that he would send at a moment’s notice with dispatches and instructions for his Generals. At the same time they would come back to Headquarters with the latest reports from the commanders in the field. This officer salutes as he prepares to undertake a mission on behalf of the Emperor.

Gabriel Feraud (7th Hussars) is a violent and fervent Bonapartist who loves to seek out trouble and fight duels. Armand D’Hubert (3rd Hussars) is serving on the staff of his general and is sent to reprimand Feraud on his latest duel where he has almost killed the nephew of an important local town official. Feraud is mightily offended and forces the first of several ongoing duels onto the hapless D’Hubert, who he believes, is “victimizing” him! Here, both officers are about to begin their first duelling encounter in the courtyard of Feraud’s lodgings… D’Hubert in his 3rd Hussars uniform minus his dolman and sabretache of course and a similarly attired Feraud of the 7th Hussars. - See more at: http://www.kingandcountry.com/duellists-set1-p-10097.html#sthash.XwArphOu.dpuf
