Grandmaster Knight
9éme Régiment d’Infanterie Légère 'L'Incomparable'
Regiment History:
The regiment was raised in 1788 as the 9e Bataillon de Chasseurs des Cevennes, and went through a series of name changes until it became the 9e Regiment d'Infanterie Legere in 1803.
The regiment earned the nickname “L'Incomparable” due to the actions taken during the Battle of Marengo to delay the Austrian advance.
During the Battle of Haslach-Jungingen, the 9e were among the regiments that were attacked by a force nearly five times their own size. During the battle, the 9e retook Jungingen village five times, losing six Eagle bearers in the process. This caused Napoleon to remark that nothing could shake the regiment.
At Mohrengen, in 1807 the regiment was caught surprised in winter quarters and lost their Eagle four times, until it was recaptured the fifth and final time and used to lead the regiment through their successful counterattack.
At Friedland Ney put himself in command of the second battalion and led it in a charge against the Russians. That day, June 14, 1807 7th anniversary of Marengo, the 9ème lived another great moment: Napoleon gave them 36 crosses of honor.
Then they left for Spain where they served until 1814, the regiment fought in Espinosa, Somo-Sierra, Ucles, Medellin, Talavera, Chiclana, Fuentes de Honor, Victory and finally Toulouse. At Talavera the 9ème advanced and took part in a successful night attack, unfortunately they had to withdraw before a massive counter-attack as the two support regiments had lost their way in the dark.
The third battalion of the 9ème also fought in Badajoz, when the city was attacked in the night on the 6th of April, 1812. The battalion lost half of its men during the bloody night, and was the last to surrender.
