Description
The Russian cavalry force was the largest in Europe, totalling over sixty regiments organised into twenty cavalry divisions. The light cavalry consisted of hussars and lancers or uhlans. Much as with the infantry, the cavalry training consisted of wheels and manoeuvres designed for the parade ground with little tactical application.
Russian Dragoons remained very close to the original dragoon role as mounted infantrymen, often dismounting to fight in line where many other nations’ dragoons were purely cavalrymen. This is reflected in their uniform, which was virtually identical to the infantry ensemble of greatcoat and helmet.
