Fiddler's joke*about 'Nelson's green coat' set me idly Googling and up came a reference to Napoleon's green coat in a book I had never heard of. It is a record of conversations with Napoleon made by Henry Meynell (HMS Newcastle) during his exile on St Helena. Green coat apart, it makes most interesting reading.

* not a joke - see Fiddler's post on 'Christmas greetings' thread!
