I see the T. man has posted site that I'd been trawling a few times so he must be hacking my trails…
. Anyway, here's a Russian perspective on this regiment and its infamous beginnings. If you think the current Brits royal family is misshapen, they have nothing on the Romanovs ancestors! Lieb-Garde Chevalier. #6 'first mentioned' is an intriguing chapter! regds

And because this thread TMP link in its' mired language difficulties, actually has Leib-Garde Chevalier standards that may or may not coincide with the premium article I referenced above. Worth a look Boris anyway…

And a missive on the Ulan Tsesarevich Konstantin (Konstatine Uhlans): link It seems (written/published in 1875 journal) Konstantine had a drive to get them launched [ggl transl.]: With fiery love, the Tsarevich took up the formation of his regiment, and on purpose several times this year he came to Makhnovka in order to personally follow the progress of the case. From St. Petersburg, he sent here a lot of different artisans, and some tailors and cutters were even ordered from Austria. The Grand Duke wanted the regiment – his dream, his creation – to be equipped in the most foppish way. cheers d |

link "ARMY OF ALEXANDER I by JOHN SLOAN" In reciting Viskovatov, this site does a disservice to modern readers, as it fails to highlight that 'documenting' regulations, while worthy of itself, doesn't mean that [what is illustrated] is what troops actually wore [on campaigns]. Thus the illustrations are indicative only, and dates should be taken with a curious endeavour to validate them. For instance, the imperial 'Garde' infantry regiments had the Potemkin style full dress expunged (or at least not seen outside St. Petersburg palaces); in 1805 ALL Garde infantry wore the cylindrical shako*. See elsewhere on forum. cheers d |
