This part of EMPIRES, EAGLES AND LIONS deals with specific questions requested by our readers and authors. We find this section necessary because many questions remain without answers and are lost in the back issue of the magazine. We are intending here to keep the list open until the answer comes!' We'll repeat the questions from time to time. Answer to Question 122: In our last issue, we have presented some sketches of flags of some Dutch regiment in French service. We mentioned also that the le Plumet plate 132 showing that flag was not available to us. Lastly , I have seen le Plumet plate 132 and was able to make the following sketch of it. 1804 Pattern flag issues June 1811 1812 pattern flag issued in May 1812 before the Invasion of Russia. The flag of the 14th Cuirassier was captured at the Berezina and is kept in our Lady of Kazan church in Leningrad. Question 123 Did either the 1st or 2nd Dutch Cuirassiers, between the years 1807 and 1810 when they were incorporated as the French 14th Cuirassiers, wear the cuirasse? Please document answer. Question 124 Do you know anyone who makes figures suitable for Egyptian Campaign? Scruby used to and I think so did Minifigs. It's a unique uniform and would make good opponents for my Turks. --Ernie Stewart Question 125 What is the acceptable wargame range, using the ground scale of 1 inch equals ten yards, for troops armed with the various types of bows, i.e. Baskirs, American Indians, Turkish irregulars, some Cossacks etc. Question 126 What was the uniform of the Saxon Artillery and train personnel for the pre-1810 period? Question 127 What manufacture artillery pieces were used by the Saxon Artillery? Partial Answer to Question #127 Saxon guns were used by the Saxon forces and were, I'm afraid, of just post Seven Years War pattern, i.e. very old. The infantry had three and six pounders to support them, whilst the cavalry had just one horse artillery battery of six pounders: this latter unit was pretty well 'up to date'. No illustrations of Saxon guns survive, I'm afraid, but they were copies of post Seven Years War Austrian pieces. --Letter dated July 22nd, 1980 from Howard Giles Question 128 Besides the Dragons de Kleber, did any other French Dragoons wear a red coat? Can anyone supply information such as what regiments were involved, size, and any additional uniform features. Please document. --Ernie Stewart Question 129 Does anyone have information on the colors carried by the demi-brigades in Egypt? -- Ernie Stewart Back to Empire, Eagles, & Lions Table of Contents Vol. 1 No. 48 Back to EEL List of Issues Back to MagWeb Master Magazine List © Copyright 1980 by Jean Lochet This article appears in MagWeb (Magazine Web) on the Internet World Wide Web.
