Kurassier Regiment Sommariva, Number 5

This is the second, and final, Austrian cuirassier regiment. Formed in 1721, it was variously numbered Cavalry Regiment, 14, 12, 14 again, 9, then finally Cuirassier Regiment, Number 5 in 1805. From 1806 through to 1823 it was under the inhabership of Field Marshal Hannibal Marquis Sommariva.








And now with the two regiments that make up the brigade.


There is just one small unit of chevauxlegere to go in this batch and that will finish the Austrian cavalry for me.

    That’s a good solid looking brigade Mark….
    I don’t think I would like to be on the wrong side of it…

    Unless I had the cannon 😁

    All the best. Aly
