To highlight one of our forthcoming publications, "Bulletins of the Grande Armée", DSP shall present each bulletin as it was originally published in "Le Moniteur". Viewers will be able to follow the campaigns, starting with 1805 and continuing through 1815, as they unfolded before the French nation and the soldiers of La Grande Armée.
Approximately every week a new bulletin will be posted. As imagined this endeavor shall take months, even years, when one realizes how many bulletins were issued during each campaign. For example, fifty-three bulletins were issued during 1813; twenty-nine during 1812; twenty-seven during 1809; etc.
For those unable to await the news from the front, we suggest placing your order for the complete collection of "Bulletins of the Grande Armée"!
Either way don't miss out! Spread the word! La Grande Armée shall commence its march from the camp of Boulogne toward the Rhine shortly. The corrupt monarchies of the Ancien Régime will tremble as the soldiers of revolutionary France pay their respects . . . first in Vienna, then in Berlin and Warsaw, later in Madrid, and finally in Moscow!
Read the words used to lead and inspire the soldiers of one of the greatest armies in the annals of history. Soon you too will know when l'Empereur wants a word. "Soldats de la Grande Armée" was the customary phrase, and every trooper and grenadier knew it well!
The time is September 24, 1805. Napoleon has just departed Paris . . . .
