The new regulation for the white uniforms were provided to the 12th line regiment by the end of 1806 but not all the regiment was dressed with it and some companies retained the blue ones.
One battalion of this regiment was at Tilst in 1807 along with the 21st line, also in white uniforms, and it is said that Napoleon took the decision to return to the blue uniforms when he saw the conditions of the uniforms.
