The fact that these old veterans of the Napoleonic Wars kept their uniforms allows us a glimpse into the era before photography... http://mashable.com/2014/10/27/napoleon ... NJrtWqskqV |

When i saw the comment about the wider waist line I immediately thought of you!  (no US uniform looks as impressive as that USMC dress uniform - its the BEST of the best!) Honestly though, you can see the "pride in unit" written all over those men's faces. It is obvious that they also lost a lot of friends and with that pride must come some sadness mixed with the wonder of it all to have served in the greatest army of Europe for its time. |
