Publisher's Synopsis
Detailed drawings of the uniforms and insignia of the first truly mounted infantrymen in the French Army. If one attributes the mounted infantry to the creation of Fischers voluntary infantry company, as has traditionally been done, then one would have to wait until 1757 for the first units to be organised. Horsemen make their presence in the royal cavalry in 1776 with the creation of a mounted infantry squadron attached to each dragoon regiment.
