Emile Fairon et Henri Heuse - Lettres de Grognards - 1936

Superb illustrated edition, notably with a beautiful color plate from this historical collection devoted to the correspondence of soldiers of the Napoleonic army, these “grognards” whose nickname has become emblematic of the veterans of the Grande Armée -

The work brings together letters that reveal the daily life of the men engaged in the military campaigns of the Napoleonic era through their own words, their personal concerns and their impressions of the events in which they participate -

The essential interest of this documentation lies in its direct and humane character, because the letters do not merely recount battles, marching, and victories, but also provide access to feelings, worries, hopes, and the material difficulties endured by the soldiers far from their families -
