If you are in this regiment it is expected for you to never pass the rank of Cvl if you pass that swell if not no worries! Just focus on doing your job and making those poor bastards bleed. -LES IS MOREx (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi60.tinypic.com%2F1zm19b5.png&hash=c06cf0e73c960c4c430a9b6e34bab0b8f3cff03d) When Napoleon annexed the Kingdom of Holland, ruled until then by his brother Louis Bonaparte, the Dutch Royal Guard merged with the Imperial Guard. The Hussars of the Dutch Royal Guard were converted into the new unit of horse-mounted Lancers, they were given a new scarlet-coloured uniform (copied, except the colour, from Polish lancers uniform) from that was responsible for their name, as well as a new set of weapons. They also received a new leader - Col. Baron Pierre David de Colbert-Chabanais - under whom they were known properly as the 2nd Light Horse Lancers of Napoleon's Imperial Guard. However, despite their previous posts in the Netherlands as the Royal Guards, they suffered enormous losses in the first invasion they participated in, which was that of Russia in 1812. While the devastation for the regiment at that particular conflict almost caused the entire dissolution of the newly formed unit, they would continue to serve in the military, but without many of the original Dutchmen, who were thought of as the pride of the regiment and who would be replaced by French soldiers. The following year, in 1813, the Red Lancers were a distinguished regiment in a battle in Germany, and once again, in 1814, where they fought in the areas then known as the Low Countries. The next year after that, in 1815, Napoleon returned from his exile. The same year, the Red Lancers fought at Waterloo. Even though Dutch-Belgian cavalry commander van Merlen, one of the most highly ranked and celebrated army officers of the regiment, lost his life at Waterloo, some of the original Dutchmen still existed in the ranks, and would serve as Red Lancers long after the 1815 victory.

To 3:30 p.m., Napoleon ordered to Marshal Ney to attack in order to seize the farm of Haie Sainte, near Mont-Saint-Jean 75. The Light Cavalry Division of the Guard loads the British squares between Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte, with regiments of cuirassiers of General Milhaud 75. The Duke of Wellington is training its squares infantry regiments and French during every load, the British gunners take refuge. Without support infantry or artillery, the cavalry charges are unsuccessful 75. Around 17 hours, Napoleon sent reinforcements the 3 th General Cavalry Corps Kellermann and the heavy cavalry division of the Imperial Guard of General Guyot, made ??up of horse grenadiers and dragons 76. The Light Cavalry Division of the Guard is forced to withdraw, exhausted by repeated charges, and reforms near Hougoumont 77. Around 20 hours, while the infantry of the Imperial Guard began to fall back, the light cavalry of the Guard abandoned his position and retreated 77. The 23rd of June 1815 Only 30 officers and 507 troops are still present in the regiment of lancers 78. | (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.histoiredumonde.net%2FIMG%2Fgif%2Flancierrougetrompette-2.gif&hash=a747820891449b4c0a0f194224aaff84b5167ce6) 2eDLG Battle Honours Battle of Berezina Battle of Reichenbach Battle of Leipzig Battle of La Rothiere Battle of Craonne Battle of Arcis-sur-Aube Battle of Saint-Dizier Battle of Waterloo |
