NAP0529-NAP0530 Marshal Jean-Baptiste Bessiers and ADC Orderly to the Emperor (1 Viewer)

[FirstLegion]

We've returned to our roots this month with every release being from our Napoleon's Europe product range and here is the last one. It's been several years since we have expanded our very popular Mounted Personalities sub-series to Napoleon's Europe and we are pleased to present the next two figures, NAP0529 Marshal Jean-Baptiste Bessieres and NAP0530 French ADC Orderly to the Emperor. Marshal Bessieres was one of those who had served with Napoleon since the very beginning as a captain in Bonapartes Army of Italy and on the Egyptian expedition. At Marengo he served with the Consular Guard and was promoted to Marshal of France in 1804. He participated in all of the major campaigns including the Peninsula until he was killed by a cannonball just a few days after the start of the 1813 campaign. As one of Napoleon's closest friends, the Emperor took his death very hard and he was yet another example of the dilution through combat losses of the effectiveness of the once great Grande Armee. Set NAP0530, The ADC "d'Ordonnance", was an orderly in the personal service of the Emperor shown here in the 1809-1814 uniform. We hope you enjoy the new figures!
