@Juan Carlos De Goya@Gracz87 The white coats were also Austrian, being more of a buff white color, but still white. The old french army of the ancien regime (pre-revolution) wore white for the French, red for Irish/Swiss, and blue for the Germans. The Spanish did wear white, but uniform of different colors and styles were common after the French dissolved the bourbon monarchy in favor of Joseph Bonaparte. There was no official army of Spain till the end of the Pennisular war, instead they were either in the Regiment Joseph Bonaparte or in the Volunteer brigades or Guerillas. Most greatcoats were color coded according to either regiment's depot or to regiment's status. The imperial guard's was the easiest, dark blue.

skirmishing chain=fewer muskets available in the vicinity to shoot while the enemy charges with bayonets. in the time the enemy marches across 100 yards, in battlefield conditions you can get at most 3 shots with each musket with only 1 in 20 chance of hitting an enemy each shot, you need as many muskets as possible close together to do any damage. after that it's just bayonet fighting and skirmishing chain is too scattered for effective bayonet fighting. every time theres a line regiment shown there are always idiots who claim that they know better. even the us continental army mainly used lines not skirmishing. skirmishing was used only at the start of the battle when the armies had not yet formed up and both sides including line infantry will form skirmish chains. once they were ready to charge both sides would quickly change to line formation to prepare for bayonets.

One would think the personal bodyguard to the King would be Elite Combat Troops, the Best of the Best of the Mother-Loving Best, and generally you'd be right. But not always. The days of Kings leading the Army into battle were over centuries before this, the King very rarely left the safety of his Capital, well away from the lines of any war his country may be involved in, and more than a few of them actually had little more than Color-Guards manning the gates of their palaces. They looked good in uniform, marched well and stood tall, they could keep the peasantry from being a nuisance, but that was about it.

French kings had an entire "Maison du Roi" of guard units, but the only ones who fought and died for Louis XVI were the Swiss Guards, and even that may have been the result of a misunderstanding. Many of the Swiss spoke little French, they were recruited from German-speaking parts of Switzerland and this partly insulated them from revolutionary sentiment. Officers for some of the other units escaped abroad and some tried to organise royalist armies, but by and large the Maison du Roi proved useless when really put to the test. In 1917 in Petrograd, Russian Guard units failed to suppress demonstrations that ended with the Tsar abdicating. The best Guard troops had long since been killed or badly wounded at the front.

Back in the day the "rules of war" basically stated that officers should not be purposefully targeted both out of a sense of chivalry (officially) and practicality. A captured officer was worth more in terms of ransom and exchange than 100 common soldiers, and wars were (and still are) ruinously expensive, so killing them prevented valuable ransom. Officers were mostly nobles so basically an agreement among the nobility to not target each other, Common soldiers could also tell who on their side was in charge based on who was the best dressed person. In more modern wars officers remove any rank insignia or distinguishing markings and enlisted soldiers aren't even supposed to salute officers when the enemy may be near by because a sniper will then know who to target.

Your commission as an officer was a large upfront investment. If you were competent and got promoted, it would be worth a lot more when you resigned it. Combined with the opportunities for the spoils of war, and the obvious incentive of not being cut down in battle, all served as a decent motivation to not be like most of the officers in Sharpe.

"What! what! men, dodging this way for single bullets! What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." The second last words of Union General John Sedgwick, before taking a bullet to the left cheek.

When Sharpe is aiming the musket at the colonel, you see Harper "resting" his firearm with the hammer pulled back and his hand on the trigger. Just in case the incoming group of officers may react negatively.

@daetoris44735 жыл бұрын
It’s spelt “Kiely” I suspect it’s supposed to be an Irish place, despite being entirely fictional
@eldricgrubbidge64655 жыл бұрын
It might not be fictional so much as complicated. Place names and titles don’t always match up perfectly. Where exactly is Desmond for example? According to Wikipedia it’s deas mumha, ie south Munster, but you won’t see the town of Desmond on a map. Or at least I never have. I think the surname Kiely is reasonably common around tipperaray/Waterford, that neck of the woods. Maybe there used to be a peerage associated with the area.
@SantomPh4 жыл бұрын
in the book it is explained that Keily's family supported the rebellions in the 1790s and were exiled, losing their lands and arguably even their land titles. What were their lands are probably named under someone else now.
