Thank you Jorge,
Very interesting and much appreciated.
I note you have sorted in descending order of % share by department: even the largest (8%) is a very small proportion!.
I have actually been consulting your infinitely useful Officiers de Napoléon tués ou blessés pendant la guerre d'Espagne (1808-1814)" to establish the origins of officers of these regiments.
I was hoping that the wide variety of regions from which the officers originated was not shared by their troops.
Best wishes
A
