Description: | image: A central image with hand drafted text and date below. A bayonet charge towards the viewer; led by an officer
viewed 3/4 length and in shadow, his left arm raised and holding a cane which is moving out of the composition at top right. He is followed
by a charge of Swiss infantry accompanied by a drummer to the left. The infantry wear red coats with blue cuffs and black brimmed hats,
their musket barrels stopped with the hilt of the original bayonet type. In the background left a Swiss regimental standard, to the right
broken wicker barricades engulfed by the smoke of artillery. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Weapons CH.A Costume and fashion Military Personnel FR.A Uniforms | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Société Littéraire de France, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
