Paris, March 13. The picturesque santinieres or regimental daughters who assisted in regiments are no longer to share the dangers of active service with troops. The women, one per battalion or battery, will be retained only in times of peace.
Formerly the women wearing service uniforms fought beside troops serving as nurses or bringing small drinks to the wounded. They were wives of non commissioned officers or musicians, and if their husbands died they often married a comrade. The minister of war has now decided.
The text cites cantinières as a burden on army food supply and troop mobility, yet notes Napoleon I honored several for bravery. Josephine Tioquart earned the Legion of Honor after saving her colonel by killing a cossack during the Moscow retreat, while Marie Tete de Bois died after 17 campaigns and at Waterloo.
