Hi Guys,I'm wondering about the regimental horse colours used by the French Imperial Guard cavalry regiments and what about the trumpeters horses greys /whites or just as the rest of the actual regiment allocated horse colours?
Can anyone also give me 1813-14 strengths for the Gardes D'Honneur regiments and the Eclaireur regiments .
Thanks Peter
Hi Peter,
Books like those from Histoire & Collections consistently show the Grenadiers in large dark horses. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I think I recall them as being from Normandy.
The Dragoons and Chasseurs are shown as being lighter coloured animals. Trumpeters and Kettle drummers are shown on greys.
