The guides, formed by the needs of the war for the headquarters staff (for escort, guard and signals duties) were pampered by their generals since they reflected their commanding general’s prestige and even became a sort of Praetorian Guard.
The best - those of Bonaparte – developed under Bessičres into the basis of the future Imperial Guard.
The Guides were present in all the Armies of the Republic, the Consulate and the Empire and yet nowadays they are mainly forgotten. They served prestigious leaders, first and foremost among these being the Emperor. They were everywhere the Republic and then the Empire planted a tricolour flag. This sixteenth volume repairs the injustice done to these elite soldiers.
