Hello, Since we all have family that was probably involved in one way or another with this, did the French government keep records of the men's names who march to Moscow in 1812? Our part of the Rheinland/Rhineland was under French control at this time and undoubtedly, many of Napoleon's soldiers would have been drafted from this area as well as France. I am asking in behalf of my second cousin whose ancestor died after Napoleon's retreat and she is looking to obtain some kind of proof of this. Would appreciate to hear any thoughts on this matter. Mit freundlich Grüßen, Joe Miller

Hello, Don`t know, if this of interest for you: I heard, that there is a memorial for the people of Trier, who fought under Napoleon. It is situated on Triers main cemetery. It was erected in 1842 by veterans.
