General Duroc as Commander of the Consular Guard

General Duroc as Commander of the Consular Guard

Here we see General Duroc during his time as Commander of the Consular Guard, which dates it to some point between 1799, when the Guard was formed, and 1804, when it became the Imperial Guard.

Take from Histoire du Consulat et de l'Empire, faisant suite à l'Histoire de la Révolution Française by Louis Adolphe Thiers

Who was Who in the Napoleonic Wars, Philip J Haythornthwaite Covers over one thousand of the most important political, military, civil and artistic figures of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic period, from all of the combatant powers. A very useful reference book that shows just how widely this first 'Great War' spread its influence. Each biography is short, with three to a page, but this allows the author to fit in so many differing characters.
