Well of course the cavalry couldn't let the infantry get away with all the glory so Uxbridge insisted on a full review of his troopers as well.
 |
| The Inniskillings, The Blues, 11th Light Dragoons, The Royals and The Greys. |
 |
| As they would have appeared in 1972. |
 |
| 60 sabres arrayed in line of battle. |
 |
| "How do you like the look of 'em eh Wellington?" "Quite splendid Uxbridge but I do wish they wouldn't gallop at everything!" |
 |
| Wait a minute, is that a Frenchman over there?" |
 |
| "Charge!!!" |
This reminds me that there are no Life Guards so I must put them on the list for 2023.

Yes! You've made my day. Wonderful cavalry.
Kind Painterly Regards,

Marvelous!
Huzzah! Excellent book, too.
That's a veritable torrent of cavalry (I especially like the first photo).
Those men on lead horses are terrifying. They are the noblest cavalry in Europe; and the worst led (Napoleon said it, not me!).
Wot no hussars?
Thanks Stokes!
Ross, careful or this will go to Uxbridge’s head!
Jeffers, what’s the point of having cavalry if you can’t just charge at everything?
Rob, British Hussars have proved elusive, I do have some DK ones that may eventually see some paint!
A magnificent Sunday morning coffee sight Ian :)
Glad you like them Lee!
Splendid looking toys Ian…
I particularly like the last picture…
All the best. Aly
Splendid sight!
Thanks!
That's a cascade of cavalry, that is. Terrific stuff, Ian!
Thanks Matthew, the British force does seem to be disproportionately represented with cavalry
I'm just getting out the Grand Duke of Tuscany's Dragoons......
Oh dear…
After your excellent infantry and cavalry reviews I think we need to see some artillery!
Cheers
Dave
Ah well, I could do that but it would be a very small parade - must paint some more!
Goodness but that is an impressive display. You can almost hear the thunder of the hoofs. Very nicely done sir!
