My last English cavalry unit for this phase of the project is Cadogan's Regiment of Horse. Originally raised in 1685 (the same as the previous two - something interesting must have happened that year!*) as the Duke of Shrewsbury's regiment, then Langdale's, Hamilton's Coy's, the 6th and Arran's before passing to William, 1st Earl Cadogan's command in 1703. The Regiment fought at Blenheim, Elixheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet amongst others.
*Only kidding - of course I know it was the Monmouth Rebellion!
1685, what a great year!!! Nice figs Al!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was! The last major battle on English soil anyway. Thanks Ray
DeleteGreat job Al, but you must be relieved to have got to the ned of the cavalry.
