Spanish Regiment
General Discussions
I was just reading Davout's correspondence in June 1815. He writes to Lamarque in western France on 1 June 1815 that the general should "have the Spanish regiment which is at Tours brought to Saumur, it should soon be uniformed. If not then this can be done at Saumur". [Davout, Correspondance, p. 569]. Does anyone know what this Spanish regiment was and what became of it?

Napoleon - Trench Fever
Napoleon
Napoleon Bonaparte—A Possible Case of Trench Fever Eric Faure Emerging Infectious Diseases Volume 31, Number 5—May 2025 Research Letter Abstract In 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte reported having a recurrent febrile illness that initially subsided for 4 days and then had multiple relapses of similar duration. A speculative diagnosis of trench fever would be supported by poor hygiene conditions, prolonged exposure to cold, and the presence of lice in Napoleon’s barracks environment. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31/5/24-0970_article

Study about Hanoverian army 1631-1803 as download
Books of interest
As I got all volumes of the rare work of Friedrich Schirmer - the no. 1 researcher of the Hanoverian army - I digitized the first volume covering the period of 1631 to 1803 ... just go to https://napoleon-online.de/quellen_downloads.html and after following the Download-button you may get this volume. Although the book has the old German typeface some readers of this board might benefit from the rich information about the Hanoverian army during the revolutionary wars ... and the second volume also covering KGL and hanoverian levies will be the next download :-) Greetings from Berlin Markus Stein
