Note 593 — SECTION XXXIII: CHAPTER VII

Reading edition

A regiment whose 1st battalion was elsewhere carried not an eagle but a simple standard per battalion instead. Of such regiments, wanting their senior battalion and therefore their eagle, there were with Marmont three. Two, the 66th and 82nd, were in Maucune’s division, one, the 26th, in Ferey’s. The colours probably belonged to some of these, of which several were much cut up, especially the 66th.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
