Well yes, I am searching for a list of Napoleon's Aide-de-Camps

How did he switch them? Did he choose them from battle to battle or for each campagain???

Sorry to be horrifically off-topic, but I didn't know the Montenegrin army bought Fap Trucks (you can see it in the equipment list). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrika_automobila_Priboj  :lol:

FAP trucks are the main transportation device of the Serbian army, Montenegrins got them for free when they took their independance :grin: :grin: :grin:

Anyways, anyone on topic? :grin:
 
You laugh now... but these babies will be transporting China's cream of the crop from one sticky situation to another to another as well ^_^

I believe they're calling their version "Dong" truck... or Dongfeng for long.

Little bit off topic or what?  :lol:

Extremely :razz:

This is what happens when you keep going on and on about Montenegro, eventually people won't be able to disassociate anything you say from your country. Comes back to bite you after a while. :wink:
 
From Osprey's Elite 115 - Napoleon's Imperial Headquarters (I) - Organization and Personell, names bolded by myself:

pp. 6-8 said:
Their numbers differed from time to time, but only 37 officers were ever commissioned ADC to the Emperor, and at normal times their number was restricted to 12. They were:
Eugène de Beauharnais, stepson of the Emperor and sometime Viceroy of Italy
Simon Bernard, present at Waterloo (who in 1816 would enter United States service as an engineer)
Henri-Gatien Bertrand, future Grand Marshal of the Palace after Duroc's death in 1813, who also served at Waterloo
Louis Bonaparte, younger brother of the Emperor, future King of Holland (and father of Napoleon III)
Col Davis Belly de Bussy M.F.A. Caffarelli du Falga, future Minister of War of Napoleon's Kingdom of Italy
J.BJ. Count Corbineau
A.A.L. de Caulaincourt, Grand Equerry and sometime ambassador to Russia
Pierre Dejean
Antoine Drouot, who commanded the artillery barrage at Hanau in 1813, and served at Waterloo
Gérard Duroc, Grand Marshal of the Palace
Count Antoine Durosnel
Count Charles Flahaut de Billarderie, who served at Waterloo
Count Claude Mathieu Gardane
Baron Charles Guéhéneuc
Baron François Haxo, who commanded the engineers at Waterloo
Count Thierry Hogendorp, a Dutch-born general (who would die in exile in Brazil)
Andoche Junot, lieutenant-colonel of Hussars
Count André Lacoste
Gérard Lacuée
Count Jacques Lauriston, sometime ambassador to Russia
Count Antoine Lavalette, Director General of the Post
Count Anne-Charles Lebrun
Count Charles Levebvre-Desnouettes, present at Waterloo
Count Jean Le Marois
Count Louis Letort, who was killed as ADC at the battle of Fleurus in 1815
Duke Auguste Marmont, future marshal
General Antoine Merlin
Count Charles Morand
Ambroise-Anatole de Montesquiou
Georges Mouton Count de Lobau, who led the assault across the Landshut bridge in 1809
Joachim Murat (in 1796)
Count Louis Narbonne-Lara, who died as governor of besieged Wittemberg in 1813 (and who reintroduced the Old Regime custom of handing dispatches to the Emperor on his folded hat)
Count Jean Rapp, who led the Imperial Guard cavalry charge at Austerlitz
Count Honoré Reille, who served at Waterloo
Anne Savary, Duke of Rovigo, future Minister of Police;
and Count Philippe de Ségur

I'm sorry it doesn't list the exact times in which they served on Napoleon's staff, but it's a place to start and it claims to be exhaustive.
 
Nice avatar Diplex :smile:

And yes

For discussion about the FAP trucks open a topic in the Off-Topic if you want.. And yes, just to say, the trucks are pretty good :razz: When I was heading to MNE on July, 12th, I passed by it, I was suprised the company even works, I thought it was economically destroyed in the 90ies... xD
