5e Cuirassiers

We know nothing about the dress of the regiment until it was reviewed in late summer 1814.28

Martinet presents two troopers of the 5e Cuirassiers. The first image must date to c.1805 as when reviewed on 13 August 1803 the regiment possessed 306 sets of chaperons and housses, but by the time the regiment was reviewed in summer 1807 every man had sheepskin schabraques.

Second is a trooper from the 1st Restoration with a very vivid hue of aurore to the uniform. The 5e Cuirassiers were d’Angoulême and not Berry, contrary to Martinet.
