About the French Young Guard:
Formed by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1809, the Young Guard was the most junior branch of the Imperial Guard, composed of battle-hardened conscripts and experienced volunteers. Unlike the veteran Old Guard, these troops were deployed aggressively, often leading charges and supporting mainline infantry in key battles such as Leipzig, Dresden, and Waterloo. Despite being younger, they received superior training and equipment, making them an elite force within the French army.
