Vistula Lancer About to Charge
"The Vistula Lancers"
Originally known as the ‘Vistula Uhlans’, they were exceptionally well-trained Polish Lancers and first-class horsemen in the service of Napoleon and among his favourite regiments of light cavalry. The regiment saw plenty of action during Napoleon’s campaign in Spain between 1808 and 1811. In 181,2 they followed their Emperor into Russia and suffered accordingly. They also took part in his final ‘100 Days Campaign’ of 1815… Loyal to the end.
With lance held up and holding his horse in check, this is the moment just prior to going into the ‘charge’.
