Hello everyone,
I wanted to share what I have found on the officers and men who served in the 7e Legere during the opening days of the 1809 campaign. Hopefully, this will help others with their research or even family genealogy research. Below will include the officer's name, rank, age, awards, and if wounded or killed on April 19, 1809. Also, I have provided a direct link to their Base Leonore files and 2YB files if available. Feel free to ask any questions or give any suggestions on how I can make this better. Just a heads up, this will be a long post, and I think I will break it up into multiple posts.
