HISTORY:
The 36th Infantry Regiment (36th IR) is an infantry regiment of the French Army created during the Revolution from the Anjou regiment of the Ancien Régime.
Wars of the Revolution and the Empire
By decree of the 1st Vendémiaire year XII (24 September 1803), the First Consul ordered a new reorganization of the French army. It is important to note that since 1808, some regiments had up to 6 battalions scattered in distant garrisons and in various armies raised between that date and 1815.
Thus, the 36th line infantry regiment was formed with 3 battalions from the three battalions of the 36th second formation demi-brigade.
In 1805, during the German campaign, the regiment was assigned to the 4th Corps of the Grande Armée and engaged in the battles of Ulm and on December 2nd, the Battle of Austerlitz.
In 1806, during the Prussian campaign, it took part in the Battle of Jena on October 14.
In 1807, during the Polish campaign, it was present on February 8th at the battles of Eylau and Heilsberg.
In 1808, the regiment was in Spain as part of the Spanish War of Independence and participated in the Battle of Burgos.
In 1809, it fought in the Battle of La Coruña.
In 1810, the regiment, assigned to the army of Portugal, took part in the third invasion of Portugal and fought in the battles of Jerez, a skirmish near Astorga, the Battle of Buçaco, and the combat of Coimbra.
In 1811, it was present on April 3rd at the Battle of Sabugal.
In 1812, it fought in the Battle of Salamanca.
Some elements of the regiment took part in the Russian campaign and were engaged in the battles of Viazma, Wolkowisk, and Borisov.

However, some battalions participated in the German campaign and fought at Kulm, Peterswalde, and Dresden.
On February 27, 1814, it took part in the Battle of Orthez and some elements in the combat of Vic-Bigorre and the Battle of Toulouse.
After Napoleon I's exile to Elba, the royal ordnance of May 12, 1814, which reorganized the French army corps, renumbered the 36th regiment to the 35th.
Upon his return from Elba on March 1, 1815, Napoleon I issued a decree on April 20, 1815, restoring the original numbers to the infantry regiments.
