Hi guys, can anyone help I am trying too locate some pictures of french cav during the FPW, mounted and if possible showing most angles. I have been googling daft for the last two days and have as yet came across a few but they dont give enough detail or mostly black and white. |

PIctures are not that common, but the details/regulations are quite well documented. Which units are you looking for? |

The Lienhart and Humbert plates have 1870-era cav uniform plates under Band II link
and
the Loire 1870 link loire1870.fr has a few color plates showing French cavalry. Select Uniformes-France and scroll down to the cavalry section. |

The links above are good, and Caliver do some good guides, and the Osprey books. I have just finished the French 1st Corps, and a unit of Guard Carabiniers and a unit of Chasseurs D'Afric in 28mm, link Also a few Yahoo groups, Blood and Iron, 1870 and They Died For Glory Tally Ho! |

Wargames Foundy has two colour plates, one for the French (which included some cavalry) and one for the Prussians. I know they are available on the Net somewhere. |

I think it is the blood and iron yahoo site, but it is one of the above I mentioned, Tally Ho! |
| nickinsomerset | 06 Oct 2009 2:53 a.m. PST |
Wrong! It is in the 1870 Yahoogroup files section, Tally Ho! |

ROBH= I have seen lots of written detail but sadly I am one of these visual people and if I dont see a picture and only words I scratch my head think about it then look for a picture. lol |
