The Veterans Company of the Imperial Guard (French: Compagnie des Vétérans de la Garde Impériale) was a veterans and invalides unit of the French Imperial Guard serving under Napoleon Bonaparte in the Napoleonic Wars.
On 12 July 1801, First Consul Napoléon passed a decree which formed the Veterans Company of the Consular Guard.
[1][2][3] The establishment of the unit was as follows (in English): 1 x battalion chief (local rank of captain), 1 x lieutenant, 2 x second lieutenants, 1 x sergeant major, 4 x sergeants, 1 x quartermaster, 8 x corporals, 2 x drummers, and 120 x soldiers.
[1][4] Following the unit's move into the Imperial Guard, a new felt hat was issued adorned with a red-white-blue coloured cockade.
The company only saw action once, during the Battle of Paris in April 1814, where it defended the Pont de Neuilly.
