First Legion
Polish 1st Line Infantry Fusilier Kneeling Firing
This time First Legion heads back to Borodino with another stalwart ally of the French Grande Armee, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, specifically the 1st Polish Line Infantry Regiment. As part of Poniatowski’s Corps at Borodino, the Poles were heavily engaged on the far right flank in and around the Utista Mound and the village of Utista itself. In addition to their participation at Borodino and the 1812 campaign in Russia, the Poles played a major role in the 1813 Saxony Campaign and were some of the most competent and loyal troops of all of the allied nations fighting on the side of the French. Presented here in a firing line with center and elite companies.
