"Saga Classical Indians" Topic

Hi
okay i am having no luck finding info on the lithuanian hussars on the russian side in 1812, would anyone here know anything about these?

May be because there was no such ones?
You probably ask about Lithuanian Uhlans..

And someone his a nice job on these graphics

thanks! that is interesting, i have only come across uhlans, but found a reference to lithuanian hussars in the Napoleons Russian Campaign game from WDS, i will need to speak with them about this detail then, perhaps they had titled it wrong

14bore, yes those are nice – i love the Irkutsk hussar uniform colour!

also how did my topic get the title of Saga Classical Indians? that is not at all what i wrote as the title

For what it's worth, in his contemporary instructions to artists concerning a painting of the aftermath of the Battle of Eylau, Denon included in his description of the French tending to wounded friend and foe alike the brief account of Napoleon being hailed by a wounded enemy soldier having his wound dressed by a surgeon. He's said to be a Lithuanian Hussar. On the assumption that the tale is, at least, retold "with advantages", I suspect that a Hussar was chosen so that his sabretasche – with the Russian Imperial crest – can be prominently displayed, though now (having looked at the prize-winning work by Gros) I see that it's partly occluded by bandages. Nevertheless it's recognisable. The uniform of the wounded cavalryman is, at least, interesting; grey pelisse with rather thin, dark blue or black, lace, and grey-blue breeches with quite elaborate gold embroidery. "For what it's worth".
