Nice! was there any rule about wearing the bicorne fore and aft or sideways?

Bicorne style I think would be down to how rakish the wearer was! At least in the early days. For inspiration I would recommend Keith Rocco's site link

These look great! I think you have caught the look of this rugged period just right. Rocco seems to have provided a handy new reference as well. I will be interested to see the Austrians. Bruce

Excellent work on the paint job. Always liked the look of the Revolutionary French, including the Egyptian expedition.

Nice! was there any rule about wearing the bicorne fore and aft or sideways? According to the French Napoleonic Line Infantry by Emir Bukhari, pub. Almark in 1973, on p. 66 he says that wearing of the bicorne fore and aft was known as 'en colonne' (on the march) whereas wearing the bicorne crossways was known as 'en bataille' (for battle). No doubt some soldiers forgot which was which.
