France gains a new officer for the Garde Impériale

Gentlemen of the Napoleonic Wargame Club,
with a decree, dated 29th July 1804, the Garde Impériale was formed.
The Garde Impériale is the pride of the armed forces of France and filled with the best soldiers that the Empire has to offer, it is a symbol of the Glory of the French Empire and the most trusted formation that the Emperor can rely on.

Now another officer joins these fine ranks and with pleasure I announce the assignment of Maréchal d'Empire Francisco Palomo to the 2ème Escadron de Régiment de Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde Impériale.
With this position he is honored for his many victorious battles for France and his long career as Corps Commander in the Grande Armée.

Vive la Révolution! Vive la France!! Vive l'Empereur!!!
