1-i Yegerskii polk

== History == The quality of Russian skirmishers varied. It was said that until 1806 they were below European average. During the numerous wars (vs French, Poles, Turks and Swedes) they improved greatly and matched the French in 1813 and 1814. However the opinions about their quality were mixed. The Prussians, who fought the Russians in 1812, considered the jägers to be competent skirmishers. According to von Clausewitz the jägers at Borodino fought in the skirmish line with great dexterity. (Clausewitz - "The Campaign of 1812 in Russia" 1992, pp 162-157) Russian commander Chichagov however claimed that Russian infantrymen (not specifically jagers) had not enough wit and adroitness to fight in skirmish order. Barclay de Tolly considered the French skirmishers superior to the Russians in agility and marksmanship and more effective in the woods. Only after 1812 the abilities of French skirmishers significantly declined. Admirers of the skirmish tactics were Suvorov and Kutusov. Kutusov wrote several sets of notes on light infantry already in the 1780s. Jägers (light infantry) were usually the ones sent to skirmish. If there was insufficient number of jägers, the line infantry and eventhualy the grenadiers sent their own skirmishers. The troops were sent to skirmish by platoons or companies, which relieved each other in turn, or by entire battalions and regiments. For example a day before the Battle of Eylau, the Arkhangel Musketier Regiment was deployed as skirmishers to cover the withdrawal of the 4th Division. In August 1812 at Krasne, the whole 49th Jager Regiment was placed in front of the village in skirmish order. There were however disagreements in the Russian army about the use of large number of skirmishers. Published in 1811 "On Jager Training" recommended the use of entire jager battalion (of 8 platoons) in skirmish order. The grenadier and strelki platoon were kept in reserve behind both flanks of the skirmish line formed by the remaining six jager platoons. The skirmish line was formed this way: the soldiers of first rank formed the front chain, the soldiers of second rank formed the second chain, while the third rank formed a reserve behind the center. The skirmishers acted in pairs with 2 or 5 paces intervals between pairs, maneuvered according to drum signals and moved at a run (150-200 paces per minute). They were trained to use terrain features, to fire from standing, kneeling or lying position. Barclay de Tolly was against using large number of skirmishers. In 1812 he wrote: "in the beginning of a battle one is to push out as few skirmishers as possible, but to keep small reserves, to refresh the men in the chain and [to keep] the rest behind formed in column. Heavy losses cannot be attributed to skillful actions of the enemy, but to excessive numbers of skirmishers confronted to the enemy fire." In 1812 at Berezina a big number of jagers and line infantrymen were thrown into skirmishing in the overgrown terrain. They were shattered by French cuirassiers and 1,500 were taken prisoners ! (Riehn - "1812: Napoleon's Russian Campaign" p 384) In 1813 de Tolly prescribed forming only 1/3 of the whole number of men sent to skirmish.

== History == The regiment was posted to the West Indies in February 1795 and was based in Saint Lucia where it defended the island from French forces and then suppressed a rebellion in Saint Vincent. The regiment returned to England in July 1797. It was posted to the Cape of Good Hope in 1800 and to India in 1802. It remained in India campaigning against the Maratha Empire for nineteen years before returning home. A second battalion of the regiment was raised in 1804 and was sent to Portugal in July 1809 for service in the Peninsular Campaign of the Napoleonic Wars. The 2nd battalion took part in the Siege of Badajoz in spring 1811 and the Battle of Albuera, during which the regimental colours were successfully recovered after the colour-bearer was shot, in May 1811. The battalion captured the drums and the Drum Major's mace of the French 34e Régiment at the Battle of Arroyo dos Molinos in October 1811. It went on to fight at the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo in January 1812, the Battle of Almaraz in May 1812 and the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813. It then pursued the French Army into France fighting at the Battle of the Pyrenees in July 1813, the Battle of Nivelle in November 1813 and the Battle of the Nive in December 1813 as well as the Battle of Orthez in February 1814 and the Battle of Toulouse in April 1814. The battalion then embarked for Ireland in July 1814. == Roster == Roster == COs == Col. Ben LtCol. Larson == NCOs == SjtMaj. Cyberisanity Sjt. Benny == Members (Enlisted) == Gren. Sharky Gren.
