Title: WW1 dismounted cavalry
Post by: mollinary on 16 June 2014, 01:00:56 PM
Are there are any pics of the new French and German dismounted Dragoons (F+G), and Hussars (G)?    I thought I had seen some, but cannot seem to recover them. I am actually thinking of potential uses for the 1860s-1870s.

They are definitely going to get used in my 1870 and 1914 scenarios.

That's the Stewart Grainger version, I think. I preferred the Ronald Coleman version with Dr. Kildare's boss as Michael of Hentzau.

Yes, that was Raymond Massey, a wonderfully sinister figure!

Raymond Massey was great in 'Things to come' as well

Ronald Coleman and David Niven are great in anything

Don't know why they didn't film the sequel - Rupert of Hensau.
