Actually, I found that one early on as well, but I discounted it
because it's modern (Fifth Republic). From ancien-regime through
Republican through Napoleonic, there's considerable variation in
organization; whether or not this was reflected in rank orders
is not something I'm certain of. I mean, for LEGO purposes, it's
probably OK, but a specific question was asked so like a true
power geek, I'm looking for the specific answer to the exclusion of
all others. ;)
So no need to be disappointed, I was merely being too exacting.
