Napoleon's Soldiers - Photo's of Veterans taken in 1858.
Here's an interesting article, a photo montage of veterans of the Grande Armee who marched in the Place Vendome, Paris every year marking Napolean's death on the 5th of May 1821. Evidently they were proud to have served the emperor, and must have cut a remarkable sight in their original uniforms.
