Infantry:When the French invaded Egypt in June of 1798 they were wearing their heavy European uniforms. All units below have White Belts, Brown Leather Packs, off White/Grey Overcoat Rolled on there Packs, and Black Cartridge Pouches.
Line Demi-Brigade.Black bicorne hat, blue cut-away coat or habit, with red collar and cuffs red piping, white turnbacks with red piping, blue shoulderboards with red piping white waistcoat and breeches (the 18th, 25th, 32nd and 75th had red-and-white ticken overalls) and long black gaiters (most info shows the gaiters were not worn. Instead the breeches/overalls were simply worn lose or cuffed at the ankles.
Light Demi-Brigade.Black bicorne hat, blue waistcoat or habit, with red collar, white piped cuffs with green epaulettes, and blue breeches.
Notes:Both the Grenadier and Carabinier Company’s as above but with a red horsehair falling plume on the bicorne as well as red epaulettes and shoulderboards. Some sources state that members of the Grenadier and Carabinier Company’s wore Bearskins. Grenadier with Brass front plates, Carabinier without.
In November of 1799 the Carabinier Company’s of the 2nd Legere was eliminated (men scattered throughout the rest of the Demi-Brigade) do to a mutiny led by the Carabinier Company’s.
In October of 1799 the Infantry started changing over to their new uniforms. Known as the Kleber Ordnance. All infantry had white gaiter – trousers. And the famous helmet with houppe or pouffe. The Tricolor Cockade was worn on the left side of the helmet.
In most cases Musicians wore reverse colors of its Demi-Brigade, with yellow chevrons running down both sleeves and yellow bars on the button line across the chest.
Listed below are the colors of the second uniform. For the helmet pouffe, if you see two colors listed the first color is on top of the second color. If only one color is listed then the pouffe was a solid color.
When the Demi-Brigades transitioned to the new uniforms, (October of 1799) the Grenadier and Carabinier Company’s did as well. With red epaulettes and shoulderboards and a red Pouffe on there helmet. Also a Brass flaming grenade insignia was worm on the front and rear of there helmet. The Grenadier Company’s of the 9th Demi-Brigade of Line were ordered to were there Bicorn hats with red falling plum as the rest of the Demi-Brigade had red Pouffe’s on there helmets.
Some of the Demi-Brigades had many change’s in their uniforms over the time that the campaign took place. The first color for each is what they wore during the initially change, but some elements may have received different uniforms over the period of the campaign. Those additional issues are listed as (Alt).
