A photo of the General.

Thanks Sergie

Hello Mike,

I thought that too, and I hoped that age had just darkened the uniform color. His uniform seems to be one worn by a grenadier. I know that during this time many who were not grenadiers wore the grenadier uniform because of availability.

thanks,

I'm not sure who is doing the shaving, maybe Bernadotte.

I just purchased a portrait of an unknown Württemberg general from 1800-1810. I haven't received it yet so I'll wait just a bit before adding a photo to the post.

thanks again,

Hello,

I'm looking for the names of generals/chief of staff in Army/Kingdom of Württemberg during the Napoleonic wars(1800-1810). I imagine the list must be short but I can't find it.

Thanks!

This one came from Austria but some of my favorites have been found in the United States, which seems odd.

Most of books are in storage for at least another month. I wish or wonder if I should have kept this book out. I can't find a picture of the explorer Gavrill Sarychev.

thanks,

I came across a picture of Russian General Shepelev(1771-1841). The medals are different but the uniform and hairstyle seem to match the same period.
