Describes the weapons, armour, uniforms and insignia of the British cavalryman during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic campaigns, and includes contemporary illustrations and new colour plates. |
| Synopsis: |
In the campaigns of the French Revolutionary (1792-1802) and Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), the deserved reputation of the British infantry has tended to overshadow the contribution of the cavalry, but in fact they did form an integral part of the army, carrying out duties crucial to the success of other arms. British Cavalryman 1792-1815 recounts what these duties were and examines the men who performed them. The different regiments of the cavalry are listed and some of the arm's more exotic or professional corps, such as the King's German Legion, examined. |
