15th The King's Hussars (EU)
« on: May 20, 2013, 06:27:15 pm »

The 15th Hussars is a British Light cavalry regiment focused on quick and deadly attacks
which shock our foes into submission. . As Hussars we mainly focus on catching Skirmishers and Artillery off guard using
our speed and maneuverability, but by no means will we be too scared by the lines. We are considered to
be one of the best English speaking cavalry regiments, meaning we keep discipline and fun in the balance
for the full experience.

A trooper of the 15th,1808.
Changing to Hussars
For the remainder of 1805, and throughout 1806, the regiment was stationed at Radipole barracks, and there underwent
 conversion to Hussars. The troops were then ordered to be held in readiness for foreign service, but did not leave during
that year. Following a review by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York on the 20th July on Hounslow heath, the
regiment moved to Woodbridge barracks. There, along with the Seventh and Tenth Hussars and two troops of Horse
Artillery, they formed the first Hussar Brigade to be seen in England, under the command of Major-General Lord Paget. A
review of this Brigade by the Commander-in-Chief on the 5th October drew warm praise.

Battle of Sahagun

About seven hundred French horsemen stood opposed to between three and four hundred British sabres; the disparity
of numbers was great, but Lord Paget had unbounded confidence in his men, and he led the regiment at speed against
the opposing squadrons. Stimulated by his noble example, the Fifteenth dashed forward with resistless impetuosity. The
French, who had beheld the beautiful order of the march in column, had still the firmness to stand the charge; but they
were overthrown in an instant, [The 15th over difficult ground charge the 1st Provisional Chasseurs and the 8th
Dragoons] and dispersed in every direction; pursued and overtaken, some sharp fighting took place; many of the enemy
fell beneath the sabres of the King's Hussars; two Lieut.-Colonels, eleven other officers, and one hundred and fifty four
private soldiers, were made prisoners; one hundred and twenty-five horses, several mules, and a quantity of baggage,
fell also into the hands of the victors: the remainder of the French Dragoons escaped to Santarbas.When this affair was
over, Lord Paget expressed to the officers and soldiers his thanks for the very gallant manner in which they had conducted
themselves; their superiority over the French Dragoons had been decidedly established; the loss of the Fifteenth was
limited to two private soldiers and four horses killed; Lieut.-Colonel Grant, Adjutant Jones, eighteen rank and file, and ten
horses wounded. The distinguished conduct of Lieut.-Colonel Grant was rewarded with a medal; Lord Paget also received
a medal; the conduct of the Hussars was commended by Sir John Moore, and the regiment was subsequently honoured
with the royal authority to bear on its appointments the word "SAHAGUN", to commemorate this spirited action."

Following this gallant event was the dreadful retreat to Corunna in which many hundreds of British soldiers were
slaughtered or simply died in the close pursuit by Marshal Soult and, at a distance, Napoleon himself. At Benevente Hussars
of the 10th and 18th just as famously defeated Napoleon's famed Chasseurs à cheval alongside a detachment of the elite
Mamelukes, both of the Imperial Guard.
Yet all these fine actions did the Hussars brigade little good, for although their constant efforts in the rear guard saved Sir
John Moore's army there was no space on ship for the surviving, famished horses of that brave brigade. And in the words
of Private Thomas Pococke of the 71st "On my return to the camp I witnessed a most moving scene. The beach was
covered with dead horses, and resounded with the reports of the pistols that were carrying this havoc amongst them.
The animals, as if warned by the dead bodies of their fellows, appeared frantic, neighed and screamed in the most frightful
manner. Many broke loose and galloped alongst the beach with their manes erect and their mouths wide open"
.

And so it was that the Hussars left the Peninsula, not to return for several years with the fame of their efforts at their back.





The 15th at Sahagun, December the 21st 1808.
"Having rode together nearly a mile, pell-mell, cutting and slashing, the men were quite wild and the horses blown."
The French had in fact believed they were being charged by Spaniards with one French prisoner saying "it was some
consolation to have been beaten by English cavalry.
"
