charge de la garde républicaine


This is interesting footage showing a cavalry charge with large numbers of men and horses.

  1. Most interesting point is the horsehair mane on the helmets-it stays quite flat even when charging, not as fly away as depicted on charging models/paintings.

  2. That's about a close as we'll get to seeing the real thing.

  3. Impressive and that is only about 150 troops. Imagine what the great charge at Waterloo would have looked like!
