    Default 84th Regiment

    Does anyone have a picture of the French 84th Line Infantry Regiment "Un Contra Dix" (one against ten)? As long as it's between 1795 and 1815 it's ok.
    I've been looking for this for over a week now, but I can't find it :S
    Rep for the one who finds it ^^

    As far as I'm aware the 84th Line wore regulation French infantry uniforms throughout the period you mention.
