Yep seen those before Rick, amazing that there are photos of real Napoleon veterans at all, also I think some of them doesn't look too old, some look like they're in their 40's or 50's though they are all very old :)

Favourite of mine is of course the hussars there, their uniforms looks so nice. Imagine seeing those fighting in battle, oh man I wish there were someway to go back in time :)

Great images. Would love to see the originals. On one of my visits to the Ottawa National Archives, I actually saw and held a photograph dated in the 1880's with three warriors (Mohawks) who fought with the British in the War of 1812. I will see if I can google it and post the image here. Actually here it is:
