I'd just about got my head round mounted Chasseurs not being Hussars, while being Hussars, and now someone takes their horses away! As Obelix would say "Those Wellintonians are crazy"!
Still the numbering is more straightforward; so far I'm guessing the 700's are an earlier or alternate numbering system and the 600's a newer/expanded range, but that doesn't explain the 100's, or the fact that the colour plate refers to the previous post, as will the next one - it seems 703 is all Guarde Imperiale!
Young Guard are rearguard today . . .
