Some Chevauleger Illustrations

Nothing too technical today, below are a few illustrations of Chevaulegers at the outset of the war in 1914:

By Angelo Jank, 1914. This is a nice study of two Chevaulegers. The leather equipment is in the honey-brown color that was used in 1914. The Chevauleger to the left is an NCO from the rank disks on his collar. It's hard to make out the specific regiment.

Anton Hoffmann. Another early war Chevauleger.

Anton Hoffman. Another view. In this picture, the rider is wearing his carbine slung over the shoulder which was a wise move since that was his primary weapon and if unhorsed, he would still have it (although it would have been painful).
