1813 French Infantry Uniform Reference Material?

Osprey has several titles.

Yes, the second link I had posted was the home page including all nationalities, but here is the direct link for British Infantry:

British Cavalry;

and Artillery;

Do any of you guys have similar sites for the British Army of that era? I have a bunch of those Airfix 1/32 Napoleanic Wars figures, both mounted and foot. That site covers the French figures well, but I could use some help for the British figures.

You have to recall by October 1813, the French army would very likely have been wearing any type of uniforms they could get their hands on.  A year earlier, they had been trying to get out of Russia.  For the large part, the entire army had been reconstituted by the time of Leipzig.

Jack, that first site is a fascinating read!

Thank you for all your suggestions! There seems to be no end to the variations of these uniforms.

Some decent information here, including illustrations:

If there isn't something clear, or still further questions, I too would suggest some of the Osprey books.  Their dedicated search engine though, shows no books directly titled Fusilier or Voltigeurs, so maybe the Line or Light Infantry offerings have them included there.  I'm sure I've some of these copies in my cellar, so let me know and I'll dig them out for a look.

Same linked site has info on the Prussians, but  have to admire the work Peter Bunde has been doing.  He has been producing 8x10 colour plates dedicated to the various regiments:

There's an exellellent book out there titled uniforms of Waterloo by Philip haythornthwaite. That's pretty much my go to guide for that sort of thing. Osprey has covered in depth also . Can't seem to find any of those books at the moment. Love the napoleonic stuff. Good luck

I would suggest looking in the Osprey book lines. Try the Osprey publishing website and search on there for a suitable book. Most of their books are priced under $20.
