BRITAINS SOLDIERS 36214 - Vive L'Empereur! After Napoleon escaped his island prison of Elba, 26 February 1815, he marched on Paris to resume this throne. The men cheered and joined the cause. Marshal Ney, now one of Louis XVIII's commanders, had said that Napoleon ought to be brought to Paris in an iron cage, but, on 14 March, Ney joined Bonaparte with 6,000 men.

On his march, Napoleon promised constitutional reform and direct elections to an assembly - the gathered crowds roared their approval. Louis XVIII fled the capital and Napoleon entered Paris. WE ARE AN OFFICIAL BRITAINS RETAILER AND THE PRODUCT IS BRAND NEW.
