Trooper 21e Chasseurs

Following on from my previous articles on the Chasseurs a Cheval, I now conclude with the final Regiments who served in the Napoleonic Wars. I should explain that there are no official Histories for the Regiments Num ered !!e to "#e. $herefore using all the availa le information that I have there may e some Colonels and dates missing from this article. I feel that to complete any wor% completely on the French Cavalry of the Napoleonic period it is essential to use Regimental Histories as they are the primary scource of all information.
