A dictionary of the cuirassier officers of the first Empire

... a picture
of Cuirassier
officers of the
First Empire. Only
French and foreign
soldiers who served
with officer rank within a
French Cuirassier
regiment during the Empire have
been included here. The officers
of the provisional regiments have not been
forgotten either.


The officers are shown here according
to their complete patronymic, mentioning
where appropriate the name that was used
the most or their nickname.


Each entry includes the date of birth with, if known,
the place ; the dates of promotions, successive
transfers, wounds and feats of arms where known.


The entries were compiled using the registers
and the rolls of the officers of the fourteen
cuirassier regiments which existed between
1804 and 1815 ; in each entry we have
also shown how the names of the regiments
changed. The regiments' various
campaigns do not appear in each
individual entry; instead they have been
re-grouped by regiment at the end
of the study.
