    I’ve just finished painting a few grenadiers for a pseudo converged grenadier unit in the fashion of Oudinot’s grenadiers and need a flag. Did such grenadier / elites carry a flag in 1809 and if so what did they look like? Thank you in advance, oh knowledgeable ones.

    Cheers TW

    Do not think converged Grenadiers would have a flag per se, since it was an ad hoc tactical unit.  However, the various companies of Grenadiers would each have a fanion which is a much smaller standard unique to each company.
