General Espartero (1793-1879). He joined the spanish army as volunteer when Napoleon invaded Spain, and his first action was in Ocaña battle, he finished this war as second lieutnant. After that, he had a long career in the Army, where he fought in the independence wars of America, and in politics.

It says these photos are probably the only ones existing of Grand Armee veterans in uniform, so they're pretty special. Thanks

NO, Napoleon I died before 1860. That picture must be from the French-German war in the 70´s with Napoleon III.

The photographs are of surviving veterans from the Napoleonic Wars dude...

Think about it... people 20 years old at Waterloo in 1815 are how old in 1860? You are way off in the murky woods as usual...
