2nd "Dutch" Guard Lancers

dutchgroupcover-800x600.jpg

First Legion presents you with the 2nd Lancers of the Imperial Guard, the legendary Red Lancers!  Raised in 1810 originally of Dutchmen after the French annexation of Holland, the regiment served with distinction during all campaigns between 1812 and 1815.   As the regiment was destroyed in 1812 during the Russian Campaign, the replacements were primarily Frenchmen and being one of the few original Dutch by 1815 was a source of great pride.  With their striking red uniforms, their fearsome lances, and superb Colonel Edouard Colbert, the Red Lancers of the Guard served with great distinction in Russia, Saxony, the low countries, and the 100 days.   We have presented them here in charging and fighting poses with nine total figures.   For those of you fortunate enough to have our previous NAP0167 Colbert figure, he is a perfect match for these wonderful new figures.   We sincerely hope you enjoy them!
