Wurttemberg 1st Light Infantry Regiment

The Wurttemberg 1st Light Infantry Regiment was part of Marshal Ney's 3rd Army Corps in 1812.
The Wurttemberg Division was designated the 25th Division under Marchand's command in the Grand Army.
The Division was heavily used in the Russian campaign. At Borodino they were used to attack the fleches. Where the Division was counter attacked by the Russian Cuirassiers and were forced into square. Marshal Murat famously used one of the squares to protect himself.I know this unit did not have a flag. But I liked the look.
