These can be arranged in two historical configurations from 6 August 1870:
As Michel's Brigade (8th and 9th Regiments) that charged at Morsbronn, with two squadrons of the 6th Lancers attached (to the rear in the image).
And as Bonnemain's Division (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Regiments) that charged at Froeschwiller, an hour or so later and three kilometres to the north, formed here in double columns of squadrons with their commanders to the fore.
Then there are a few images looking down the line of massed cuirassiers.
The only other French cavalry needed are the two regiments of dragoons to complete the Second Corps cavalry division, but the Perrys haven't made them yet...although the Chasseures d'Afrique are tempting.
