80-14 France Line Infantry

The French army during 1809 comprised around 120 foot regiments each of which contained four battalions de guerre and a depot battalion. Each battalion de guerre consisted of four companies of Fusiliers, one of Grenadiers and one of Voltigeurs. Each company was officered by a captain, a lieutenant, a sous-lieutenant, a sergeant major and thirteen other N.C.O’s. Two drummers and 120 men completed the company. Many French regiments took part in the Peninsula campaign and prominent amongst those during the early stages of the war were the 70th and 86th regiments of foot.
The 70th Line regiment was formed in 1803 as a result of reforms to the old demi-brigade system. During the early part of the Penisula war it fought at both Vimiero and Corunna.
