There were none so exotic and magnificent as the Hussar regiments of the French army. These dashing light cavalry donned outfits originally inspired by Turkish, and later Hungarian, cavalry. Each of the fourteen regiments formed wore a differing uniform, with the result that a Hussar brigade made a most impressive sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounted on small but tough horses, they were used on campaign in scouting and raiding roles.
