The Poles were ardent supporters of Napoleon and saw him as a liberator. They may lack the pomp of other infantry, but they do all that is asked. Armed with muskets and bayonets, they can steadily fire volleys into the mass of an enemy army, or fix bayonets and attack at close quarters. They will honourably withstand shot, shell and sabre and then go forwards with courage to drive off enemies.
The Legion may be regarded as socially inferior and paid less than other infantry, but they fight like the Devil when asked. The Polish Legion is a line infantry unit, able to give fire or charge home with bayonets.
