About This Book

A regimental history recounts a cavalry unit's formation in the late 17th century and follows its operations through the mid-19th century. It details deployments, battles, sieges, notable achievements, and the capture of enemy colours, and documents honours, badges, guidons, and changes of uniform with illustrative plates. Official orders and returns are combined with lists of officers and enlisted men killed or wounded and concise biographical notices of senior officers. The compilation emphasizes preserving authentic records to promote esprit de corps and to inform both soldiers and the public about the regiment's service, losses, and distinctions.
