6135 Imperial Guard Artillery

Napoleon’s Imperial Guard comprised all the assets of the Grande Armee. Foot Grenadiers, Chasseurs-a-Cheval, the Empress’ Dragoons, all fought alongside Guard foot and horse artillery. This kit represents a unit of Regiment d’Artillerie a Pied de la Garde Imperiale. Its members were recognizable by the high bearskin bonnet issued in 1810. The typical Guard artillery crew comprised eight men.
