Bataillon de la Moyenne Garde

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights. - Napoleon Bonaparte

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The men of the Middle Guard were physically the best of all Guard units.
The men of the Young Guard lacked stamina and battle experience.
Although the Old Guard had incredible battle experience and stamina
and enjoyed the highest esprit de corps, the 30-40 years old men were
physically not as good as the 20-25 years old of the Middle Guard.
