This is my effort to represent in 28mm Antoine-Louis Decrest de Saint-Germaine as commander of 1re division de cuirassiers de la Grande Armée, a position he had gained in 1811.
To his flanks are an Imperial Orderly and a senior officer of the Horse Artillery. Saint-Germaine was wounded leading a charge at the battle of Borodino in 1812, but recovered to participate in the battle of Hanau in 1813 as a count of the Empire and commander of 2e corps de cavalerie de la Grande Armée. Lots more photos on my blog, as well as a more comprehensive biography, as usual: jannersjaunt.blogspot.dk/2015/07/antoine-louis-decrest-de-saint-germain.html Photos of the division to date to follow… |

Great work – both brushwork and basing I never could figure out why a heavy cavalry general would wear a bicorne rather than a nice protective helmet – recognition, I guess |

Recognition seems fair enough, but fashion may also have had an affect |

why a heavy cavalry general would wear a bicorne More gold braid on a bicorne. |

A golden horse mane on the helmet would have been quite striking though. |
