After the French army was disbanded in the late summer and autumn of 1815 what happened to the Eagles each regiment carried?
According to Andrew Field's Waterloo Rout & Defeat: the French Perspective page 313 Lieutenant Henckens of the 6th Chasseurs a Chevel "
The eagles were to be taken to Paris by the unit commanders, but I think there were few that reached their designation; they were broken up and shared around; ours was not broken as far as I saw, but I don't know more, Colonel Faudoas declaring he would take all responsibility for any offense."
Thanks.
