A Quick Rant About: Waterloo (1970) And Its Uniforms

(Originally Uploaded: 18th February 2020)

Corrections:
- Please note that there was technically another phase of French uniforms in 1806 when they tried to re-introduce white uniforms. I did not include this though since they were cancelled the following year and the ones that were issued probably didn't last too long. Obviously, there were uniforms tailored to suit particular campaigns (the Peninsular for example) but I have not included these since they don't relate to Waterloo.

I cannot seem to the find the extensive forum page where they went over their evidence, if I find it again, I will be sure to link it.
