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).
FN/355 "MARSHAL NEY with riding coat worn over his shoulders (approp. horse FNH/10)."
Marshal Ney arrived with three other Marshals/Generals. They will be featured in a future post. Perhaps you can help identify them.
No French army is complete without him - a nice addition!
