First raised by Henry Conyngham in Derry in 1693, they were ranked the 8th Dragoons. Disbanded in 1714, the regiment was reformed a year later and saw service in both Jacobite uprisings, and Flanders - the latter as light dragoons. In 1818, the colonel, Banastre Tarleton, was instructed to convert them to a regiment of hussars.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Like most regiments involved in the charge, both squadrons of the 8th Hussars were down to half strength by October 1854. Thus, they have been represented by a single (small) unit of six 28mm Great War Miniatures figures.</div>

In comparison to their splendid 1914-era sculpts, I must admit to having felt disappointed by the quality of the castings. Many of the horses required pinning with brass rods at the ankle, as did the odd tail. However, the figures have been well-researched, and match the dress and equipment indicated by the primary sources for the charge.</div>

Their commander was made by combing the torso and arm of Nolan with the head, lower body, and the mount of the regular Hussar officer sculpt.<br />

Moving, buying a house, another horse, another dog, work, and completing my PhD have all taken time away from painting and gaming - nevermind writing about it.<br />
<br />
Still, with my WW1 Imperial German force having reached a 'rounded' stage (let's face it, no army is ever really finished!) and only a few units to finish off for the c.1812 Russians, I feel inspired to start something new in both wargaming and living history.<br />
<br />
So I bring you, Great War Minitaures' Light Brigade cleaned, based, and ready for undercoating:<br />

Naturally, as someone interested in military history, I've also been working towards mastering mounted skill at arms. Last Saturday saw me at Action Horses near Hull for training with my British Napoleonic reenactment unit - the <a href="http://www.xvld.org/" target="_blank">15th or Kings Light Dragoons (Hussars)</a>.<br />
<br />
After scaring some cabbages myself, I dismounted to take a few pictures of the chaps in action, which I thought you might enjoy. It was a training session, so please excuse the odd irregularity in dress and equipment:<br />

Pavel Tuchkov was born in Vyborg in 1776. He
followed his two elder brothers in the army to serve as a sergeant in the Bombardier Regiment in 1785, quickly
rising to serve as his father’s adjutant. He became a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shtyk-junker</i> in 1788, a captain in the 2<sup>nd</sup> Bombardier
Regiment in 1791, and gained his majority in early 1797. A year later he was
elevated to Lieutenant Colonel and took command of the Life Guard Artillery
Regiment, picking up the Order of St. Anna around the same time. He joined the
Order of St. John of Jerusalem in 1799 as a full Colonel and was made a Major
General the next year. He retired in November 1803 whilst commander of the 9<sup>th</sup>
Aetillery Regiment, but returned to the colours in 1807 to command the
Wilmandstand Musketeer Regiment. <o:p></o:p></div>

He led 1<sup>st</sup> Brigade of 17<sup>th</sup> Division in
1807, but did not participate in the campaign of that year. In 1808, he was in
Finland and, after holding Sandö and Kimitoön, joined Bagration for his advance
on the Åland Islands in 1809. Tuchkov retained his brigade in 17<sup>th</sup>
Division in 1810 when it formed part of the 1<sup>st</sup> Western Army, but in
early 1812, his had command of a brigade in 3 Infantry Division within his
brother, Nikolay’s III Infantry corps. In the face of the French invasion, he
commanded 1<sup>st</sup> Western Army’s rearguard as it withdrew to Smolensk
and was dispatched to hold the critical road junction at Valutina Gora
(Lubino). He was captured late in the day whilst leading a counter attack by
the Ekaterinoslav Grenadier Regiment, having received a bayonet wound to the
abdomen and a number of sword cuts to the head.<o:p></o:p></div>

Bonaparte interviewed Tuchkov on 25 August 1812, and tried
to persuade him to take a peace proposal to the Tzar. An offer he declined, but
he did agree to write to his elder brother. He was finally released in 1814
and, after a six-month leave, joined the army for its advance into France in
1815. He finally retired on 21 February 1819 after twenty-five years service
and entered the Senate. He became a Privy Councillor in 1840 and died on 5
February 1858, in St. Petersburg.</div>

These are based on Foundry's firing line in forage caps, but with the odd head swap and the grenades filed off the ammo pouches. Unlike that of line battalions, jäger webbing was black, including the sling, and the have green trousers to match their coats. Facing are also green, discretely piped in red with a line red strip down the outside of their trousers - as per this image:<br />

They are painted up to represent the 8th and 9th companies (i.e. 3rd battalion) of 20th Jägers in winter dress and their sister skirmishing companies from the 1st battalion will be following the next line battalion. So their pompoms are red with a yellow centre and forage caps have blue piping on the crown.<br />
