Thanks

All the best,

For off-line sources you might want to check out Osprey MAA #102 "The Wild Geese, the Irish Brigades of France and Spain," Mark McLaughlin/Chris Warner and "Uniforms of the Peninsular Wars, 1807-1814," Philip Haythornthwaite/Michael Chappell, originally a Blandford book but has since been re-issued by Arms and Armour. Another interesting book is "Napoleon's Mercenaries, Foreign Units in the French Army Under the Consulate and Empire, 1799-1814," Guy Dempsey, has a 20 page chapter on the 'Legion Irlandaise.' I believe these titles are available at the usual suspects; Amazon, Osprey, or if out-of-print ABEBOOKS. Also Military Modelling Jan. 1981 has a good article about Boney's Micks. Furthermore, Figurines 22 has a good Andre Jouineau illustration spread of the Irish Bde. under the Louis' (1700's, I know, wrong period but still interesting) Happy hunting.
