You know Napoléon REALLY left a big impression to French peoples because, not only did he regained power one time (even if it last only 100 days), but despite being defeated two times, his nephew was able to get elected as the French President AND do like his Uncle and overthrow the Republic to become Emperor (Napoleon III, Second French Empire). XD
before getting betrayed by republicans at the first occasion, partly leading the the defeat in the franco-prussian war, ironically sparking the republic's revanchism, that they participated in creating. how ironic

If I am correct,the old guard was never committed at the battle of waterloo...it was the young guard.If it would have been the old guard there would have been chaos all over battlefield Napoleon later regretted this decision
Middle guard was committed. Old Guard served as rear guard. "The Old Guard left the battlefield in excellent order with their characteristic bull-dog obstinacy and drums beating."
The old guard and the middle guard were sent in at the very end to finish the Brits but it failed. Then the entire army routed except for Middle guard and Old guard.

C'est, je crois, la Moyenne Garde qui est "morte mais ne s'est pas rendue", et non la Vieille Garde. Plus précisément, un carré de la Moyenne Garde, avec à sa tête Cambronne.
La moyenne garde a mené le front de l'attaque et la vieille est resté en soutient légèrement en arrière. C'est suite à la débacle de la moyenne garde puis de l'armée que la vieille garde a protégé la retraite. En formant des carrés notamment comme tu le dis et en l'occurrence Cambronne était dans le 1er régiment de chasseurs de la vieille garde si je ne m'abuse :) La vieille garde est la seule a avoir conservé sa discipline dans la débacle. Le "mot de Cambronne" serait arrivé à ce moment même si ce dernier l'a toujours nié.
I can translate certain bits, though I don't speak French The chant in the middle is "Vive l'Empereur", essentially long live the emperor Chargez => Charge Poilou (?) => Forward Le Garde merde something something => The guard dies but doesn't surrender
“Long Live France” is what you need to hear and is what the men who died heard on the battlefield. Their message is basically long live France and their heritage

(And repeat). 1:27 (single guys shout this a couple of time, then everyone repeat) « Vive l'Empereur ! » = "Long live the Empereur" 1:55 (I can't hear what he's saying, maybe he's just screaming to take courage, or maybe he's saying this :) « Gardes ! » = "Guards" 1:59 « Chargez ! » = "Charge !" 2:02 (differents officers giving the same instruction to their division) « Armes ! » = "Weapons !" 2:06 « En joue ! » = "Aim" 2:09 « La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas ! » = "The Guards dies but does not surrender !". (Famous quote, the legend say it was prononced by a French general when he was asked to surrender. When he was asked about this quote after the war, he will deny it. Today we know it was possibly pronoced by an other French officer, by way earlier and during an other war.) You're welcome 😊

as a french i'm literally so proud
The old guard are the pride of Europe the best troops of the napoleonic era and are well disciplined and willing to die for the emperor
If modern day France realized the power they could hold if they only grew some back bone
The Guard dies, it does not surrender.
