The original version of "Les Miserables" uses "___" for place names, but many later editions and translations fill in the blanks. The very first sentence of the book (in English translation) is:
In later versions, this is often changed to "Dijon".

I must have managed to miss any reference to the regiment in my random page checks then. Thank you for the correction. Admittedly I haven't actually read through the ebook, it was just my edition of choice for my Calibre library.
As far as Les Miserables and other books go I suppose I'll put it down to later editions and translations, that being the preferable explanation.
