Napoleon Painting

The Painting with Napoleon incorrectly states that those in the picture are at the stance of attention, they are in fact at the position of the Salute, I recommend that this picture is withdrawn from the article as it is not correct. 109.224.139.191 (talk) 19:45, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
