Westphalian Light Horse Regiment - Talavera

[carojon]

Hi all,
The completion of the Westphalian Cheveau Legere adds the second regiment to Colonel Ormancey's Lancer brigade at Talavera.



The regiment was not heavily engaged before, in or after the battle and would complete its tour of duty principally engaged in anti-guerilla activities prior to its disbanding along with the other, now unreliable, German units in December 1813.

Those look damn good. I am a big fan of the Westphalian army. (for looks)

There is a memoir of life at court in Westphalia "Memoirs of the Court of Westphalia Under Jerome Bonaparte". I think you can find it online.

Hi ChocTroops,
Thank you and thanks for highlighting the associated PDFs particularly Sam's work, I hadn't read either so will have some pleasant perusing to do over the weekend.

Cheers
