NA451 - Preparing the Table
Talking of food and drink... Two of the Emperor’s own personal staff unpack some crockery for a meal before the battle as well as pour some water into a bowl for the emperor to refresh himself. These two green-liveried servants belong to Napoleon’s own household and were often former soldiers themselves. They would follow him on campaign and take care of all his personal requirements and attempt to make his life on the field of battle as comfortable as possible.
