There were so many French uniforms in the Napoleonic Age that it would take an animation of 1 hour to go through them all - Sappers of the Guard, Gendarmes of the Guard, Marines of the Guard, Polish Lancers, Foot Artillery of the Guard, the Mameluks, Chasseurs of the Guard, Dragoons, Hussards, Carabiniers and Cuirassiers (to name a few).

I still love how everyone was wearing brown in WW1 and the French were just “no”
-
as a french person who loves weapons and uniforms, this is very very very very accurate
-
In the 90's, the French started to wear CCE camouflage, which was of the same cut at the olive drab tenue F2. and half way the 90's the French started to wear in a desert environment, a desert camouflage uniform, nicknamed Daguet. And a nice touch, that you used this version of Le Boudin. and in my case, Vive la Legion.
-
The French aircraft had “cocarde” (national marking) on plane that were the red outside and the blue on centre. The video shows British cocardes that are exactly the contrary.
-
Respect for this man living 300+ years just to use all french uniforms
-
My great grand father fought during the battle of France in 1940, he was in the tanks tho so he might have had a different uniform. But I'm so proud of that, he participated to one of the few wins that France got against Germany and fought side by side with De Gaulle, who was in the tanks too before becoming a general.

It’s amazing how much information you can give your audience in such little time.
-
When you have the most military victories, but people remember you for surrendering in the last great conflict
-
For the algorithm.
-
Napoleon really set the French Military to a status of impressive with the academy still functioning.
-
As a member of the toy army men-collecting community, I find these videos invaluable when it comes to painting and styling them. I think a whole series of these videos should be released. Videos on Austrian uniforms history, Italian uniforms, Swedish, Greek, Turkish, Chinese, Mexican, Spanish, Portuguese, and maybe some Latin American countries' uniforms would be great. I understand that they might not be popular with everyone, since it's just clothes and weapons, but it's my suggestion.
-
I love my country, even if everyone always has something bad to say about it.
-
Great video as always! The only thing that ticks me is that the Saint Cyr Military Academy do not parade with rifles, but with swords, as they are officers.
-
What a amazing video, by far my favorite. With many references to the french history army as the capitaine d’Anjou with his left Hand in wood at Camerone, or also the Dunkirk battle with this iconic scene in the Nolan movie of the same name when brits retreating and finally the hostage taking of the flight 8689 Air France at Marignane. Perfectly realised with french military backgroûnd. No sincerelly what a wonderdul work, masterclass
-
As a french I'd just want to say that the "L" in "fusil" is silent and "fusiller" sounds like "fussiyer". Great video
-
Ah, the Old Guard my favorite out of all the regiments in the Grand Armee. Their requirements were very strict unlike their younger version the Young Guard. You had to be 1.73m for chasseurs and 1.78m for the grenadiers (no height requirement for those award the Legion of Honor), knew how to write and read, 35 years of age, 10 year of service and fought at 3 or more campaigns.
-
I think you should also do the Evolution of Italian Uniforms, there is a lot of history to uncover!
-
Awesome work and I really loved the visuals along with the effects and uniforms as always Griff! One suggestion for the soon future: Italian uniforms throughout history, for the shits and giggles. Though I will admit, some aspects were pretty cool like those feathered mountain caps which were worn by the Sardinian infantry 😙
