Graf Brühl Chevauxlegers






Here we continue to show those cavalry regiment stuck in Poland and the start of the SYW. After the capitulation of the Saxon army at Pirna, these units served mostly with Austrian armies.

This units wears the caps that it is famous for but Franco Saudelli's fantastic illustration show a ranker in a tricorne which probably replaced the cap in 1756. Still the cap is rather cool so the unit wears them!
