Chasseurs Britanniques
The Chasseurs Britanniques was a battalion-sized corps of foreign volunteers, who fought for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland during the Napoleonic Wars. The regiment was formed from the remnants of the Prince of Condé's Army after it was disbanded in 1800. The regiment entered British service in 1800 and continued to fight for the United Kingdom until 1814, when it was disbanded after Napoleon's first abdication and exile to Elba.
