Some of you eagle eyed historians may have noticed the Scott's Grey's inthe picture above. These are made from the Union Brigade Cavalry box which willallow you to make the correct 4th unit for the 1st division, theKing’s Dragoon Guards. We were just excited to release these and couldn'twait for the studio to paint them!
The 1st Cavalry Brigade – also known as the ‘Household Cavalry’ –was arguably Britain’s finest unit of cavalry. Impatient due to seeing littleaction in the Peninsular war and tired of parades, the Household Brigade wasonly too pleased to be on the field at Waterloo to show what these gentlemencould do. There were four units in the division, the red-jacketed 1st and 2ndLifeguards, the Horse guards (their blue tunics giving them their nickname,‘the blues’) and four squadrons of the 1st King’s Dragoon Guards.
The day before the battle of Waterloo the Lifeguards launched two chargesagainst aggressive French lancers, pushing them back pell-mell and restoring thecavalry’s reputation. On the day of the battle itself the Household Brigadeblunted massed French infantry attacks before savaging the accompanyingCuirassier regiments. They would take a French eagle that day –one of onlytwo taken on the day and a true reflection of their fighting prowess.
