Old Collingwood Posted December 27, 2022 Author #2222 Posted December 27, 2022 Morning all, hope everyones Holidays are going well (Special thoughts out to my US buddies with the current weather - Stay Safe) So I have been having a think and done lots of internet bashing regarding my diss mounted Cuirassier firing a musket, the trouble is I can not find any evidence to say they actually carried muskets, so If I decide to place him it would be without proof he would have been firing a musket - the lack of cuirass is documented though as there was a shortage of them at Waterloo.

Edwardkenway Posted December 27, 2022 #2224 Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I'm sure there would have been dismounted cavalry troopers using muskets, as there would have been plenty of discarded weapons on the field belonging to the multitude of dead and wounded. In short it is not an unreasonable assumption to have your cuirassier picking up and using a musket.

If the trooper had his mount knocked out from under him I am sure it would have made a lot more sense to join up with infantry units in the area rather than try to walk back to find his mates. Musket powder and shot would be there to scavenge or his new mates might share. Its too nice a figure to waste Alan Jack12477, Egilman, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote
