Another character that appears in "The Charge of the Mamelukes", by Goya, is a Dragon Guard.

These soldiers were light cavalry soldiers trained to fight both on horseback and on foot. They were armed with a straight sword, a pistol and a rifle on which you could fit a bayonet. The models of these weapons varied depending on the regiment and, in some cases, instead of a musket rifle was used. Generally, in most units, the rifle was the model of 1,777, with a longit 141.7 cm ud. and weight of 4.3 kg. Guns, model years XIII and IX, measuring 33 and 35 cm. respectively, weighed 1.3 kg and were of the caliber 1.71. All weapons were used on foot or on horseback, so the dragon did not stem the sword for operations on foot.

It was also necessary to have participated in at least two campaigns, read and write and be at least 173 centimeters.

Sore Genitals In Female Toddler




The Hussar, written by Pérez-Reverte Aturo in 1,986, and edited by Punto de Lectura, for this issue, in the year 2008, is a book that recounts the experience of Frederic Glüntz, lieutenant of hussars of Napoleon's army, Andalusian territory in 1808. As a novel of the same era and characters included in the same army, as given in the Shadow of the Eagle "is not far, nor as ironic or humorous. On the contrary, much harder out in less than 200 pages the contradiction between the idealized vision of the battle as the path to lasting memory of history through the honor, bravery and courage of the men with the raw reality. The battle as the way to oblivion of solitude before death and horror in the confrontation between the men.
is a novel that I liked and recommended.
Curiously, on the cover, no picture of a hussar, but as a horse artillery of the Imperial Guard, painted by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detailed.
