British hussar regiments during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) were created by transforming some of the light dragoons regiments, which took place in 1806 and - in the case of the 18th Hussar Regiment - in 1807. In the British army, the hussars were perceived primarily as light cavalry, intended for reconnaissance, reconnaissance, insurance of the marches of their own troops, and in the second row they were perceived as cavalry intended to participate in battle. All British hussar regiments had blue uniform jackets, blue dolmans and furry low hats with tassels. Particular regiments differed in color, e.g. the color of the lapels or stripes. The main weapon of the British hussars was the saber Model 1796, while their firearms were pistols, cavalry rifles, and in the case of the 10th Hussars Regiment - Baker's threaded rifles. The regular regiment of British hussars usually consisted of 5 squadrons, one of which was treated as a rear. Theoretically, one squadron numbered about 180 people, but during the campaign this number decreased and during the Battle of Waterloo the squadron of British hussars numbered approximately 140-150 people on average.
