Light Cavalry of the Emperor


The light cavarly were a key part of every army o the Napoleonic Wars of the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Their main role as scouts, flank protectors, raiders and to run down broken enemies were fullfilled by a huge amount of colorful regiments. These are the French 11th Hussars and 6th Chevau-Legers-Lanciers. In the background you see artillery support from a Wurttemberg horse artillery battery and a light infantry regiment, the 2nd Wurttemberg Jagers.
