UNIFORMOLOGY - Lesson 1
BOMBARDIERS DE LA MARINE:
UNITS PREVIEW
Between the various faction previews I will also released a short presentation - uniformology lessons. This is the first of them. I decided to present a unit little-known but have interesting uniforms.
The Bombardiers de la Marine were the elite corp of the French Navy. They existed from the late seventeenth century to the 80s eighteenth century. In 1692, two companies were created: one in Brest and one in Toulon. A third company was created in Rochefort in 1694. The Bombardiers de la Marine wore a red coat with blue facings. Below I present the uniforms of this unit.
