As Napoleon was to find out...his Egyptian Adventure was no “walk-in-the-park”! Almost as soon as his army landed they were involved in skirmishes, ambushes and full-scale battles...
They also quickly realized that much of their equipment and especially their heavy European-style uniforms were totally unsuitable for the Middle Eastern climate and conditions. Here we see K&C's latest “Napoleon In Egypt” French troops in fighting formation defending their position. Wearing the small “jockey”-type caps and locally-made cotton trousers with shorter-cut jackets the soldiers can move and fight more easily.
These soldiers are from the 9th Demi Brigade.
