Shown here is the Uniform of the 20th Chasseur at the time of Napoleon (1803-1814). The chasseurs à pied were the light infantrymen of the French Imperial army. They were armed the same as their counterparts in the regular line infantry battalions, but were trained to excel in marksmanship and in executing maneuvers at high speed.
