If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, you can ask the Age of Napoleon Team.

Q 20.1 I am currently painting foreign and auxiliary troops in French Service, and I wondered if you could help me with the following uniform details:

Regiment de Westphalie	uniform and facings
Hanoverian Legion (Infantry and Cavalry)	uniform and facings; did they wear bicornes or shakos?
Legion du Midi	facings
Garde de Paris	bicorne in 1805?
Waldeck	did they wear the red plume like the rest of the members of the 6th Rhinebund?

Seems to me that there is the possibility of a couple of interesting articles here; any takers? Remember, we pay for them. --AoN Editor

Q 20.2 I am currently working on the Austrian Army that fought in Italy during 1813-14, in the Tolentino campaign, and during the 1815 campaign. So far, information seems sparse, and I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of a good source, or provide the information.

Q 20.3 I have been researching the campaign that ended in the Battle of Medellin in march 1809. In a previous query in NN&Q6 (p.31, Q&A no. 20), reference was made to the book Heerisches Militar by F. Kersten. I would very much like to read what was written in the book, possibly by way of paying for photocopies. Can anybody provide these?

Q20.4 I wonder if anyone can help me? I am looking for the c1809 and 1812 patterns for both the officers and soldiers coats for the Napoleonic period Russian Infantry. One is with the open collar and the later version had the closed one.
