Hello everybody!
We still didn´t show here this release of Alexandros Models, and it is the 5th volume of the limited esdition serie "Stories of the History"
R/140 "Le chiene Moustache à la défense de l'aigle du 40e régiment, Austerlitz 1805"
This time we explain a story that almost sems unbelievable; Moustache, a Barbet dog who since he as a puppy lived with the French 40th infantry regiment for more than 10 years, and who was the protagonist of several heroic actsduring the campaigns of the Grande Armée. This scene, located in the battle of Austerlitz, represents the moment in which he single-handledly defended the regiment's dying porte-aigle, thus preventing russian troops from storming the Eagle of the regiment. This action earned him a decoration awarded by the General Lannes himself! (More details about his life are in the documentation attached to the kit)
75mm. resin cast
We hope that you like it!!

Ps. In wikipedia the text explains that in Austerlitz he confronted the Austrians, but it is a mistake since the 40th Reg. was integrated into the 5th corps of Lannes' Army (left wing on the French side), and they fought only against the troops of russian troops of General Bragation.
