EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the essence of a Sergeant of the 5th Light Dragoons (Hussars) during the Napoleonic Wars, as depicted in this beautiful painting by Malcolm Greensmith. Dated between 1812 and 1815, this Sergeant's impeccably dressed uniform is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and discipline that characterized the British military during this era. The Sergeant's jacket is adorned with a multitude of decorations, signifying his rank and achievements in battle. The red tunic, with its gold lacing and silver buttons, is paired with a white waistcoat and dark breeches. His tall, bearskin hat, complete with a plume of horsehair, sits atop his head, adding an air of authority to his appearance. The Sergeant's sword, slung over his shoulder, is a symbol of his readiness for combat. The curved hilt and long, sharp blade are reminiscent of the agility and versatility required of a Hussar cavalryman. The 5th Light Dragoons, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Own," were renowned for their speed and maneuverability on the battlefield. Malcolm Greensmith, a celebrated military artist, expertly captures the essence of this historical figure. His masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail, bring this Sergeant to life and transport us back in time to the Napoleonic Wars. The amalgamation of the 5th Light Dragoons with the 19th Hussars in 1922 marked the end of an era for this esteemed regiment, but their legacy lives on through images like this one.
