The Prussians have finally taken Gross Gorschen and the cossacks are raidind villages on the French left at will. The allied cavalry have been wreaking havoc on the French sector but the advanced units of 4th Corps have been seen in the vicinity of Pobles,the jaws of the pincer are beginning to bite.

The regiment at Luyzen were the 2nd light dragoon regiment who were formed to replace the hussar regiment lost in Russia. Both regiments are referred to as light dragoons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431692127378726209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-40636468130544452822013-08-01T17:32:26.054+08:002013-08-01T17:32:26.054+08:00As I understand there were two formations - the fi...As I understand there were two formations - the first was lost in Russia and the second was raised hastily in 1813 on Napoleon's insistance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431692127378726209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-78002071336007270642013-08-01T08:05:49.516+08:002013-08-01T08:05:49.516+08:00On Baden dragoons, were they light or heavy dragoo...On Baden dragoons, were they light or heavy dragoons? Knötel represents them with heavy cavalry boots and sabre, but more modern representations tend to have them with a curved sabre and knee-high boots? It's not a crucial question, of course, but I wondered whether either of you, Peter or Phil, or perhaps anyone else reading this has any info. about them?James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-65938161828680645302013-08-01T04:38:53.635+08:002013-08-01T04:38:53.635+08:00Thanks for your kind comments.
