In the campaigns of the French Revolutionary (1792-1802) and Napoleonic
Wars (1799-1815), the deserved reputation of the British infantry has
tended to overshadow the contribution of the cavalry, but in fact they
did form an integral part of the army, carrying out duties crucial to
the success of other arms. British Cavalryman 1792-1815 recounts what
these duties were and examines the men who performed them. The different
regiments of the cavalry are listed and some of the arm's more exotic or
professional corps, such as the King's German Legion, examined.
