About This Book

The narrative traces the creation and ceremonial presentation of the imperial eagles, follows their deployment with regiments across major campaigns, and recounts episodes of heroic defence, capture and recovery during battles from Austerlitz and Jena through the Peninsular War and the retreat from Moscow to Waterloo. It draws on memoirs, regimental records, dispatches, maps and illustrations to reconstruct combat actions, guard formations, and the symbolic significance of the standards, while presenting contemporary reports and personal recollections that illuminate courage, discipline, and the stakes attached to losing or saving an eagle.
