    After Waterloo the British were so impressed by the Polish lancers they formed their own regiment. And as part of the uniform the British troopers wore the square topped ‘Chapka’. Watch “ The charge of the light brigade”. Featuring a fatal charge by 600 light cavalry again Russian guns. Made in the mid 60s but still a great film.

    Lancers had a better chance at breaking infantry squares than other types of cavalry had, as the lance could outreach fixed bayonets on muskets. Even so, they were unable to break squares at Waterloo - at least one French (or Polish?) lancer hurled his lance, transfixing one of the British soldiers in a square - the lancer's fate is not recorded. The advantages of lancers were clear even before Waterloo. In one French engagement with Austrians in rainy weather, it was at first stalemate because the Austrian infantry square could not fire as the rain prevented the powder from igniting, but French cavalry were deterred by their bayonets. Then some lancers attacked the Austrians and quickly broke up the square.

    The history of the British lancers are pretty interesting, as the British army had had lancer regiments throughout the early-mid 1700s but by the late 1700s they had all been converted into light dragoons....It wasn't until after Waterloo that they reintroduced them and as you point out like the Hussar regiments they took on a very distinctive look which was copied from other nations.

    I think they did but they were caught in the open and didn't have time to form up (the guy who said "rifles to me" presumably tried to get them to form up but it was far too late) and it seemed half of them at least were trying to disperse and seek cover. Either way they were fucked, skirmish infantry caught out by cavalry in the open like that at such close range was disastrous, the one time i know it happened during the rl napaleonic wars, which the 95th (the green jackets here) witnessed was that of a fellow light infantry regiment suffering it. They got wiped out completely, an experience that stayed with the 95th soldiers so much that years later at waterloo, when the 95th were on the receiving end of a cavalry charge, many veteran 95th soldiers turned and fled expecting it to be a similar massacre. Fortunately for those that stayed though they bunched up in time into a square and were able to repel the french cavalry with minimal casualties somehow.

    @@bo2web C'est l'empire qui les a motives mais dont le revers de la medaille a ete leur talon d'Achille. Cet attachement aveugle a leur pays les a empeches d'apprecier leurs colonies. Ils ont gagnes de nombreuses batailles parce que leur troupes sont tres loyales et disciplinees mais ils ont presque toujours perdu en politique a cause du detachement et dedain qu'ils ressentaient envers les indigenes des pays qu'ils colonisaient ne se sentant jamais chez eux. Aucune assimilation a Dieu ne plaise, il n'y a que l'Angleterre qui compte meme si on s'ancre dans une nouvelle terre. Les francais sont plus aventuries, moins dependants. Tout d'abord ils ne donnent pas de noms de villes francaises dans leurs colonies pour se retrouves un peu chez eux., ils n'eprouvent pas ce besoin de se sentir attaches du nombril a la mere patrie et ils construisent toute une infrastructure pour les gens des pays qu'ils occupent. Ils traitent plus facilement avec les autres. Tres differents. Les francais prennent mais ils apportent beaucoup, les anglais prennent. A peu d'exceptions, la France a garde avec tout le reste du monde d'excellentes relations. Cela n'a pas ete le cas de l'Angleterre pendant des siecles. Les choses ont change mais uniquement grace au temps et aux dernieres generations plus ouvertes d'esprit. Un exemple de la pensee differente des deux pays. Dans cette video, bien que ce ne soit qu'un film, Sharpe essaye de proteger l'un des siens et les deux cavaliers francais le relachent. Pour les remercier, au lieu de leur donner le champ libre, il les tues. Il est normal que les Anglais se plaignaient au pres des francais avec un refrain qui a peu change que les francais se battaient pour l'argent et qu'eux se battaient pour "l'honneur". Il est donc aussi parfaitement normal que Surcouf reponde que "chacun se bat pour ce qui lui manque". Deux peuples tres differents. Les anglais ont rarement ete magnanimes, par contre le long de l'histoire les francais l'ont souvent demontre avec largesse. Il faut voir les choses avec du recul. Nul peuple n'est parfait mais les differences restent toujours prononcees.

    Reloading took ages, standing in formation (square was the best, due to horses fear of clumped masses of people) and bayonets as semi-spears was absolutely vital to avoid fate like this, but riflemen actually had sabres, not rifles with bayonets and most importantly they were absolutely caught out camping. Absolutely hopeless to defend.

    It's because of his orders from Wellington, that one of the three officers MUST make contact with Rothschild. The other two officers are being slaughtered in the valley below, and regardless of whether the Chosen Men enter the battle by shooting the Frog leaders, the British officers are almost certain to be killed before it's over. Even if they defeat the Frogs. A hard decision by Sharpe, but the correct one, given his orders.

    My thoughts exactly. They had pickets which were from picket fence which was a system where the sentries were spread out in sight of each other and usually in twos. You had to kill 2 sentries and do it so the next pickets on either side did not see it. That is why these things are only on movies and TV. Surprisingly professional armies learned something from thousands of years of war. However script writes and authors need easy ways to set up a story. Pity they just don't think a bit harder and have something plausible instead of ruining good stories with BS like this. Also there is always a response party fully armed loaded and ready to fight under the command of the duty officer at the center of the camp prepared to respond to the pickets warning. Otherwise why have a warning if there is no way to respond to it?

    @@pauldonvito8270 Yep. I think Sharpe is pretty good usually. You make a good point. If people are interested though another issue here were the saber cuts killing guys outright which was not true. Survival from saber cuts was quite high and you usually had a bleeding issue which if not resolved might get you. So soldiers could and did often fight on with saber cuts as they were shallow bleeding wounds. They could be sewn up. Stabs were often fatal although if the wound was not into the lung or heart or spine you could still operate but you would die later from the deep wound which could not be treated. But as you say here the defeat of the riflemen was part of the story line. Saber armed cavalry were very good at pursuing broken infantry but not very good at wiping out a unit of infantry. This is not a complaint just an observation.
