Westphalian's cuirassier

In short history Napoléon didnt want this création...Two regiments were to expensive to organized...

but his brother was too proud...or stupid...or both...

some pics

There were two cuirrasier regiments created in 1815
The only difference between the regiments was the color of their buttons NL:
White metal buttons for the first
Yellow metal buttons for the second
There was also a unit Garde du corps created on 16-7-1814
They had yellow metal panzers and helmets
I could not find any battle record
Here is a link to more information

30 th french draguon between 1803 and 1805

I post two pictures about the 30 eme dragon issued from the whole 12 french hussard...

Men didnt become dragon... ( le prestige de l uniforme)

Gallantery is so easy when you are a hussard....

In fact french army ( not imperial ...France is not a Empire just a Consulat) was poor in new uniform so this regiment was a mix between dragon helmet and hussar costum...

Napoléon during a travel in lyon was escorted by men with dragon's mantel but hussars'uniform...

The regiment was stationned at pont d'ain near Bourg en bresse (01)

other particularity this régiment was never stationned in spain...

I search some informations about the Prussian Cuirassiers and garde du corps, eventually, in 1813 -1815, pictures and some texts or explications about their uniforms if it's possible...

these regiments or corps were not in waterloo I think...
service at war in 1813 ou 1814?

Many thanks to all
