Crimean War: Russian Dragoons

The Russian cavalry was the largest in Europe during the Crimean War and included more than sixty regiments spread across twenty cavalry divisions. Among these, the dragoons played an important role as flexible and versatile troops.

Unlike many other nations' dragoons, which primarily functioned as traditional cavalry, the Russian dragoons retained their original role as mounted infantry. They often dismounted to fight on foot in line formations, making them particularly useful in many different combat situations.

This function was also reflected in the uniform, which closely resembled the infantry's equipment with the characteristic large capes and helmets.
