Monsieur le Maréchal Corbin, thank you for the honor of commanding la Garde, the Sacred Band in service to la Patrie et l'Empereur. Thanks all for the kind words.

Herr Jones, I think I shall take you up on that offer of a drink. It's summer and I am parched, perhaps a nice Belgian ale or a Hefeweißen.

Cheers!

Your pleasure, Marechal Bardon. I am very glad to buy for you today.

Does that mean Jeff will stay at the rear and not take any active part in any battle ?

BONUS

There is hope!

Seriously though - Congratulations Sir

Very funny, Tony.

No, it means Marechal Corbin has given me even more Garde units to command. En avance!

The guard always leads!!!

Not certain that I would agree with that statement. I actually see only a very few of the Imperial Guardsmen leading, but Marechal Bardon is certainly one of those who does. {Salute!}
