Regiments in Russia 1812

[Frostie]

I’m looking for uniform info on the following regiments, they are nominally Italian but can’t find anything on them.

Velites of the Tuscan Guard
Velites du Prince Borghese
Mediterranean Regiment

Thanks

I am also interested in the 1812 campaign and if you do some googling on the regiments you are looking for you can find "Napoleon's Imperial Guard Uniforms and Equipment. Volume 1: The Infantry" by Dawson on google books. Lucky enough chapter 24 Other Regiments are part of the preview. Here the formation decree of both the Velites battalions are listed and that they should have the same uniform and equipment as the fusiliers of the Guard. In "The Napoleonic Sourcebook" by Haythornthwaite it is mentioned that they had the same uniform as the Guard Fusiliers-Grenadiers(not sure if that means anything different than the Fusiliers?). In "Napoleon´s Mercenaries" by Dempsey this is also confirmed and some uniform details are described:
shako
blue jacket with white fringed epaulettes
blue collar
white lapels
red cuffs
white cuff flaps
In this book there is also information on their operational history and they only went as far as Poland in 1812 and did not participate in the march into Russia.

I found no info on the Mediterranian regiment unfortunately...

The 'Velites du Prince Borghese' were the Velites of Turin, who were raised as a bodyguard regiment for Prince Borghese.  The 'Velites of the Tuscan Guard' must have been the Velites of Florence.  They were meant to be dressed the same as the Fusiliers-Grenadiers of the Guard, but Prince Borgehese changed a few details to make his battalion a bit fancier!  I've added a piece about them at the end of this article: http://www.jemimafawr.co.uk/2019/06/16/la-garde-au-feu-my-15mm-french-imperial-guard-part-2-the-middle-guard/

The 1st Mediterranean Regiment was (I think) created from the remnants of the Tirailleurs Corses.
