Of historical interest : Napoleontic soldiers buried at Vilnius



Some rather old news but still interesting for the histrorical interested reader. Last November in Vilnius the authorities buried some 18 soldiers who belonged to Napoleons Grande Armée.
They belonged to the 29th régiment d'infanterie de ligne, 2nd régiment de dragons and the 7th régiment de hussards, which all belonged to the Emperors Guard.
More about this can be read here and here.
