History:
The 19th Regiment of Dragoons has been created the 1st of March 1793. Deployed immediatly in Vendée then from 1794 to 1797 served in the Army of Rhine and Moselle under the command of Moreau. In 1798 and 1799 he served in the Army of Italia and fought at Porto-Formo. From 1800 to 1803 he was in St Domingue fighting against Toussaint Louverture. Decimated by the fevers he returned to France and got reconsituated to enter the Grande Armée. The colonel is Auguste Jean-Gabriel de Caulaincourt, the brother of the well known Armand Augustin Louis de Caulaincourt.
In 1805 he followed Napoleon at the heart of Austria,illustrate himself at Elchingen allowing the french army to win the battle of Ulm. Then the 2 december at Austerlitz the 19eRD charged the austro-russians multiple times. Ulm and Austerlitz are the two first battle written on the flag of the 19eRD.
In 1806 he fought at the battle of Iéna then pursued the retreating prussians armies and forced them to surrender at Lubeck. A bit later they beated the russians at Pultusk, making them retreat to Ostrolenka.
In 1807 the 19eRD is part of the reserve of cavalry of Maréchal Grouchy and charge at Eylau. Later they charge at Friedland forcing the ennemy to retreat and giving the victory to the French. Friedland is another of the battles you can see on theyr flag.
In 1808 the regiment is transfered to Soult's corps in Spain where he will stay untill 1813.
In 1813 he made all the campaign of Germany fighting at Leipzig and Dresde, Dresde is witten on the flag too.
In 1814 after the campaign of France he got disbanded by Louis XVIII then recreated by Napoleon , however he wasn't at Waterloo..It's probably the reason of the defeat. Disbanded again after the coming back of Louis XVIII he got recreated later by Napoleon III. The last disband of the reg date from 1995.
Our History in NW:
I created this regiment on the 28th of December 2012. We are therefore quite old (and dusty). The cavalry got created first and was joined in April by an infantry. We are an international regiment with a large proportion of french speaking people in it. However we have plenty of nationalities like polish, czekh etc. We play alternatively as dragoons and hussars. We play dragoons in linebattles (unless we get Prussia or UK where we play as Hussars) and Hussars for every cav vs cav event, as dragoons suck in cav vs cav. We've been independant since we started to exist as a regiment but finally decided to accept the GI's offer and joined theyr brigade in september 2017. We've been through many stuff, and always kept fighting. We play polish legion when we play infantry. We have very nice skins (made by Sernis) that gives you 19eRD skin (both inf and cav, replacing Polish legion and french dragoons), 11e_Huss skin (replaces french Huss) 15th_Huss skin (replaces UK Huss) Nr3_Huss (replaces Prussian Huss).
