Grenadiers Francs
I'm hoping to find out more about a detachment of Grenadiers Francs that went to Ireland with Humbert in 1798. I have one source which says that this unit (2 officers 51 men) had just returned to France from Ile de France on the "frigate' La Lune. I can't find anything about the ship but it must have returned to France in the summer of 1798. And where would these men have been drawn from? Had there been grenadiers in Ile Maurice, Ile de France? Any help appreciated!

Thank you for these explanations. After seeing the snippet Jonathan posted, I realize the error is on my side. I still have a few things to work on. Do you know when exactly the two regiments were dissolved for good? Is there an official document decreing their dissolution? If so, when and where was it published? Do you happen to know where to find it?
