To many units to choose from, all French hussars, the early French carabiniers, but also the common French line infantry fusilier especially in the post 1812 Bardin uniform, still very smart looking. |

French hussars & chasseurs a cheval, pre Bardin. Could never get my head around the Bardin uniforms. John Miller |

Piet, His Majesty's Marines formed in 1664 as the Duke of York and Albany's Maritime Regiment of Foot (or Admiral's Regiment)- ('Royal Msrines' in 1802)- were already in existence when the Dutch navy appeared in the Medway and then behaved rather badly… |

Well worth reviving this thread. I'll stick with Saxon Garde du Corps. Many much fancier uniforms, some quite exquisite (eg Polish Guard lancers and Grenadiers a Cheval in full dress) but I laways came back to that illustration in Haythornthwaite's REtreat from Moscow Uniforms book. |

French Marins de la Garde And yes … yes, I know they were sailors. But they came ashore and fought as infantry. |
