Bog beskrivelse

Researched from genuine primary sources, this is the first book to explain and illustrate the organization, activities and personal stories of the female ''support staff'' who played a major role in the day-to-day life of Napoleon''s armies.

The cantinières who accompanied Napoleon''s armies to war have an iconic status in the history of the Grande Armée. Sutler-women and laundresses were officially sanctioned members of the regiment performing a vital support role. In a period when the supply and pay services were haphazard, their canteen wagons and tents were a vital source of sustenance and served as the social hubs of the regiment. Although officially non-combatants, many of these women followed their regiments into battle, serving brandy to soldiers in the firing line, braving enemy fire.
This book is a timely piece of social history, as well as a colourful new guide for modellers and re-enactors. Through meticulous research of unprecedented depth and accuracy, Terry Crowdy dispels the inaccurate portrayals that Napoleon''s Women Camp Followers have suffered over the years to offer a fascinating look at these forgotten heroines.
