This light cavalry formation was renowned for its speed, bravery, and excellent skills in reconnaissance and skirmishing. They were present at the famous Battle of Borodino, as well as during the pursuits after the Napoleonic army in the years 1812-1814, both in the defense of their homeland and during the counteroffensives in Central and Western Europe.
