After a few weeks scratching around in Knotel and the NYPL site I remembered this wonderful blog.<br><br>I cannot believe how good it is. thank you so much for putting all of this information on line. It really is a treasure trove. I cannot wait to sift through all the posts and get painting up figures.<br><br>By the way the Green jacketed Foreign legionaire is correct for the second Battalion. I have a reference showing him in 1856, just as illustrated but I do not know the dates that uniform was worn.<br><br>Once again thanks and congratulations.<br><br>Johnjohnpreecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975471299346543628.post-41890426658403435272010-05-05T01:30:15.598-07:002010-05-05T01:30:15.598-07:00Thanks a lot , great praise.
