November 2004 La Garde recieved a £5000 grant from the National Lottery.

December 2004, La Garde was presented with an eagle and colour to mark the 200th anniversary of this event. La Garde was the only UK based group to attend these solemn ceremonies.

On 19 June 2005, a museum gallery at Fort Paull was opened charting the history of the artillery La Garde Imperiale (both the original and recreated units).

1-2  April 2006 saw La Garde spend the weekend with a film crew, to be filmed for a documentary about re-enactment. We were joined by members of 3e Co. from Poland for the event, whom we hope to meet up with at Plancenoite in June. 

All three sections of La Garde,  will be present  a Jena in October  2006.
