Historical Information and Use

Foot artillery played a crucial role in all major battles of the Napoleonic era, such as Austerlitz (1805), Borodino (1812), and Waterloo (1815). Under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, France revolutionized field artillery by increasing its mobility and effectiveness. Infantry cooperated with artillery to break enemy positions, and such units were present in most European armies at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. This set excellently reflects the weaponry and uniforms of French artillerymen from 1799–1815.
