Title: Hussars crossing the Alps
Post by: Simon H on August 04, 2015, 03:52:56 AM

Despite having a reasonable reference library I just can't seem to put my finger on this information.

Does anyone know which Hussar regiments crossed the Alps with Napoleon?

Thanks in advance

Simon

Hello,


The "reserve army" crossed the Alps from the 15th of May 1800 until the 25th of May.


Here are the Hussars regiments :


11th  hussars (4 squadrons, 518 men)
12th  hussars (4 squadrons, 596 men)
1st hussars (1 squadron, 120 men)


+


1st hussars "cisalpin"( 3 squadrons, 300 men)
hussars "volontaires" (120 men)


Hope it will help you.


Best regards.
