WHOM WE REENACT

The Association of Historical Reenactment Battle of Vitoria 1813 currently has three sections for reenactment:

• Grenadier company of the 100th Line Infantry Regiment.
• 1st company of rfusiliers of the 100th Line Infantry Regiment.
• A piece of French artillery.

We decided to represent different companies with different uniform to be more didactic and visual in the events.

We then define each element of the uniforms of each group. At all times we speak of theoretical equip, maintaining the campaign uniformity in recreations, such as coats, covered shakos, brown or blue pants, etc … or eliminating laces in the shakos.
