In January 1914, the French Army had 47 divisions (777,000 French and 46,000 colonial troops) in 21 regional corps, with attached cavalry and field-artillery units. Most these troops were deployed inside France with the bulk along the eastern frontier. With the fear of war with Germany a further 2.9 million men were mobilized during the summer of 1914.

French Army, Vol. 1: 1914 (Officers and Soldiers)

In January 1914 the French Army had 47 divisions (777,000 French and 46,000 colonial troops) in 21 regional corps, with attached cavalry and field-artillery units. By 1918 about 40% of all French troops on the Western Front were artillerymen. Increasing use of machine-guns, armoured cars and tanks also reduced the numbers in the infantry. This volume examines the French Army's last year of the Great War.

The fourteenth work in the “Officers and Soldiers” collection is dedicated to the French Cuirassiers from the Consulate to the Second Restoration. Dating back to the Heavy Cavalry of the Ancient Régime, the first Cuirassier regiments were really created in France in 1801 during the Consulate. This new type of cavalry turned out to be one of the essential arms of Napoleon’s tactics. First twelve, then fourteen regiments were created to constitute the shock troops of the Napoleonic Wars, together with the two regiments of Carabiniers already formed. For more than ten years, they took part in all Napoleon’s campaigns: from Austerlitz on 2 December 1805 to Waterloo on 18 June 1815 and from the valleys of Spain to the distant Russian steppes. André Jouineau, figurines maker and collector, has worked with Histoire &amp; Collections for more than 18 years. His uniforms plates, which have been fully carried out using data processing, have made him a pioneer in this field. Jean-Marie Mongin, previous chief editor of Uniformes and Tradition Magazine, puts all his knowledge of military history into these drawing texts and captions.

This, the thirteenth book in the “Officers and Soldiers” collection, shows the French Army during the Phoney War and the French Campaign in May-June 1940. Continuing the work – started two years ago by André Jouineau in the two volumes dealing with the 1914-1918 armies – given over to an almost exhaustive survey of French Army uniforms and outfits during the two World Wars, this volume shows almost sixty color plates with no less than 300 uniforms, several dozen insignia and equipment illustrations. Particular attention has been paid to the description of the combat groups and the servants of the unit weapons. André Jouineau, figurines maker and collector, has worked with Histoire &amp; Collections for more than 16 years. His uniforms plates, which have been fully carried out using data processing, have made him a pioneer in this field.

Officers and Soldiers of the French Army, 1940

The guide and guard units, formed out of the necessities of war and in close contact with the general staff (as escorts, guards, messengers), quickly became object of attention for the generals, as they were emblematic of their military prestige of their leaders and represented a veritable praetorian guard. The highest in perfection were those surrounding Bonaparte―with Bessières at the head―one of the core components of the future Imperial Guard. The guides would be present in almost all the armies of the Republic, from the Consulat and the Empire, and yet today they are for the most part completely forgotten. They served some of the most prestigious leaders, the Emperor being at the top. Anywhere the Republic, and then the Empire, would stake their tricolor flags, the guides would be there. Volume Six in the Officers and Soldiers series strives to reconcile the injustice made toward these elite soldiers.

Military

That association of mountainous territories shut in among the European powers, Switzerland solved part of its financial problems as early as the Renaissance by developing a truly mercenary industry. Each canton could sign a contract (a capitulation) to recruit military units with their own officers and regulations in exchange for pay and equipment for a neighboring state. On the eve of the Revolution there were therefore Swiss units in the government guards or the troops of the Line in France, the Italian States, Spain and the United Provinces. The revolutionary process in France ran up against their loyalty to their employer: the King, and the sad events of the massacre of the Swiss Guard on 10 August 1792 whereas the Swiss regiments of the Line were disbanded. During the vast European reorganization led by France between 1793 and 1813, Switzerland was politically and geographically transformed and furnished its big neighbor whether it liked it or not with troops of great worth who upheld their favorite motto “Honneur et Fidélité”. A lot has already been written on the Swiss regiments. The book skims over the Swiss troops in service with the King on the eve of the Revolution to concentrate on those who served the Republic, the Consulate and then the Empire, focusing on less well-known aspects.
