The Old Guard, Napoleon’s most elite regiment, was known for its unshakable discipline and battlefield prowess. These seasoned veterans were often the last to retreat, standing firm while the rest of the army withdrew.

At Waterloo (1815), during Napoleon’s final battle, the Old Guard made their legendary last stand against overwhelming British and Prussian forces. As the battle turned against the French, the Guard was surrounded, yet refused to surrender. According to legend, when called upon to lay down their arms, General Pierre Cambronne defiantly responded, "The Guard dies but does not surrender!" (“La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas!”).

This Old Guard Casualty figurine serves as a powerful reminder of their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty to Napoleon. Whether part of a Napoleonic military collection, diorama, or historical display, this piece embodies the heroic spirit of the French Imperial Guard.
