Memoirs of Sergeant Bourgogne, 1812-1813
Adrien Jean Baptiste Franois Bourgogne was the son of a cloth-merchant of Cond-sur-Escaut (Nord). He reached his twentieth year on November 12th, 1805, a time when military glory was the one dream of youth. To make this dream real, his father procured his admission into a corps of the Vlites of the Guard, where a fixed income was a necessary qualification. The Vlites were originally Roman soldiers lightly armed, for skirmishing with the enemy (velitare). In the year XII. when the Revolution was at an end, two corps of Vlites, consisting of 800 men each, were attached to the foot Grenadiers, and to the mounted Grenadiers of the Consul's Guard. In times of peace each cavalry regiment had attached to it a squadron of Vlites made up of troops of 125 men each, and each infantry regiment a battalion of two companies of 150 Vlites each. The uniform worn by the Vlites was always that of the corps into which they were drafted. The Vlites were trained first at Saint Germain-en-Laye, then at couen and at Fontainebleau. Bourgogne attended the writing, arithmetic, drawing, and gymnastic classes which were meant to complete the military educa[Pg vi]tion of these future officers; for, after a few years, the more efficient of the Vlites were promoted to the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
