Marshal Ney Arrives to Command at Quatre Bras




Marshal Michel Ney, 1st Duke of Elchingen, 1st Prince of the Moskva, known as "Le Rougeaud" to his troops, arrived in camp today looking a bit ragged.  He arrived, on a white horse, just in time for the 203rd Anniversary of the Battle of Quatre Bras.

 
The Bravest of the Brave will need a bath in paint and varnish stripper (the eco friendly kind; on its way to camp as I write), and then a fresh uniform, as well as a fresh mount (a bay).

 Marshal Ney arrived with three other Marshals/Generals.  They will be featured in a future post.  Perhaps you can help identify them.
