Russian cuirassiers were quite aesthetic

Really makes you wonder what the deaths of these thousands of little men accomplished. Rotting naked in the earth with not even a tombestone.

Napolean or any of the other great men didn't give a shit about them. They're dead, decomposed and no one remembers even their name. Sad!

And at least those at Waterloo got buried (allied ones) or incinerated (french ones)

Meanwhile those at Borodino were just left rotting on the field

That is so edgy, Im amazed the Prussians didn't think of it first.

That's because nobody gives a shit about the little man, and neither do you.

They later adopted the iconography.

I'm not asking anyone to die for me, how stupid do you have to be to let yourself become a rotting corpse because some "great man" gave you a gun, pointed you in the direction of some "enemies" and told you to die for some epin cause.

>>2074556
At least in the French army, even the lowest had a chance to become a general and be remembered
In Allied armies on the other hand, only nobles could achieve greatness

I am not an expert but it looks like

French cuirassier
French cuirrasier
French carabinier a cheval
French cuirassier
Russian cuirassier
>>
>>2074592
>>2074601
Correction, the first one might be a bavarian cuirassier and the fourth a Polish one.

But both of these were in French service at one point or another.

Thanks l'ami!

The third from the right swaggers about a distinctly austrian appearance though, bearing that uniquely white uniform?
>>
>>2074608
>bavarian cuirassier
Right, and the nuance of turquoise plastered on his uniform does coincide with the Bavarian flag, so that would seem adequate!

Thanks again!

The far right one is definitly Russian
The three on the middle are French and I dont know about the far left one
>>
>>2074611
They do?
>>
>>2074624
Oops, had never known that the french armies diversified their uniforms that heavily, and ventured that far and away from the usual "some blue and white, and some red if we can manage it" coloring they'd conform to for most of their uniforms.
Seems you're right!

>>2074617
Thanks!
>>
>>2074650
They had everything from yellow and green like >>2074464 and red, and god knows what.
