Description

Together with the cuirassiers, Carabiners formed the heavy cavalry of Napoleon's army. The above average height and shining cuirasses of these soldiers were often decisive factors on the battlefield. It is worth remembering how they were used as Murat's cavalry reserve at Borodino, or in Marshal Ney's charge at Waterloo.
