This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the dress and equipment of each regiment of dragoons and lancers in Napoleon's army, drawing on access to over 1,000 archive boxes. The author's research reveals new insights into how the 1806 uniform regulations and the Bardin regulations were adopted in practice, providing a previously untapped resource for understanding the Napoleonic era.
