Fusilier-Grenadiers

Thanks for that. At Aspern-Essling the Fusilier-Grenadiers had two battalions totalling 1,313 men and the Fusilier-Chasseurs had two battalions totalling 1,272 men. The 1800 figure given by Philip Haythornthwaite and Andre Jouineau must be wrong.
The query originated from Sir Charles Oman's Order of Battle for Medina de Rioseco in 1808 which refers to a detachment of La Garde Imperiale of three battalions of the 1er Fusiliers totalling 1900 men. The Fusilier-Chasseurs were formed on 19th October 1806 and the Fusilier-Grenadiers were formed on 15 December 1806. Which one was the 1er Fusiliers?
