NOTE:
In 1835, the Minister of War asked the infantry regiments for their opinion on the headgear to be adopted. In 1836, the regiments proposed a series of different shako models. The 44th and 45th line infantry regiments were given a leather helmet with a plate and crest. This headgear had only a fleeting duration. The reports submitted by the two regiments were completely contradictory: the 44th regiment found the helmet heavy and uncomfortable, while the 45th was in favor of its adoption. In its session of May 27, 1837, the Infantry and Cavalry Committee, relying on the contradictory conclusions, expressed the opinion that the shako should continue to serve as headgear for infantry troops.
