Commanded Napoleon's Imperial Guards. Died in 1812 from complications of a head wound sustained in combat with the armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You have to wonder if Napoleon had a couple more of these talented commanders at his [...]

Appointed by Napoleon as commander of all French forces in Egypt, Kleber was stabbed to death by a student in Cairo in 1800.

Marshal Berthier

by Aramis Sebastian on April 26, 2024 · in Figures · 4 ≡

Another one of Napoleon's stalwarts . . . Amusing story related by Adam Zamoyski in his book 1812 about the invasion of Russia. The Russians refrained from engaging with the French and withdrew deeper and deeper into the countryside. The [...]

Soviet Infantryman 1939 (Winter War)

by Aramis Sebastian on April 7, 2024 · in Figures · 6 ≡

I was working on this a while ago; got stuck; and put it away. Started working on it again recently; got it to a presentable point; and "voila."

Marshal Saint-Cyr

by Aramis Sebastian on April 6, 2024 · in Figures · 3 ≡

Regarded as Napoleon's finest general in the art of defensive warfare and the equal of the Emperor himself in that area of endeavor. He is mentioned in Joseph Conrad's short story "The Duel" (as well as Ridley Scott's film [...]
