Their fortunes de- pended on his favor. The regimental stand- ards were borne on staffs with the imperial eagle at the head. Napoleon dreamed of a new empire of" the West not less extended than that of Charlemagne, and he chose his symbols so as to inspire the imagination of his subjects. On each flag he inscribed the names of the battles in which it had been victorious. No soldier could see his battle flag without a proud thought of the victories of Lodi, Monte- bello, Areola, Marengo, Austerl...itz, and a hun- dred others. The Legion of Honor was insti- tuted, and its cross was bestowed on French- men who had served their country well. Whenever a regiment had captured col- ors from the enemy in battle the cross of the Leofion of Honor was awarded to the regiment, and it was suspended from the staif of the standard. Not every French soldier could win the cross of the Legion of Honor for himself, but he could at least help to win it for his regiment. A like custom prevails in other armies.
