Unit History
The regiment was at Lille in 1757. It joined the army of Germany at Stockheim where it formed a brigade with the Du Roi dragoons. Distinguished at Hastenbeck, Minden, Hanover, Klosterseven, Celle and Krefeld in 1758 where it suffered heavily.
Returned to France in
1759 and remained on the Norman coast until 1761 when it returned in Germany. The unit distinguished itself at Johannisberg in 1762. It performed as a regular unit during the period.Comments
When switching to 8 man units from 24 for cavalry, I needed yet another Dragoon squadron. The flag for this unit is so colourful and different from each side that I had no choice but to raise a squadron. Unit repainted in 2003.
