Life was seemingly grand for Napoleon's army, but reality told a far different story.
the author lacks depth of knowledge,
For French infantrymen in 1815, the musketry drill consisted of eight basic steps in loading their pieces.Nope, is was either charge en douze temps, or charge precipité or à volonté, the construction of the musket demanded a sequence of loading, this was identical to the British and French - there their muskets had the same characteristics of construction.
Also the dress was not that dysfunctional as the author describes, soldiers - at least French would throw away their superflous equipment to make life easier.
