Polish Light Horse Display Team 1st Polish Lancers of the French Imperial Guard (1807 - 1815)  

                              

That first Regiment of Polish Imperial Guard Lancers is based on a French Napoleonic Cavalry Regiment, and is unique in that it is the only French Cavalry and Guard unit in the UK at this present time.

As the Regiment was originally Polish in French service, we maintain a close Polish link with the museums in the UK and abroad, as well as the Polish community with some members coming from a Polish background.

Being a cavalry unit, a strong emphasis is placed on developing riding skills and horse management. We attend events all over the country and abroad, ranging from small appearances to large events on the Continent, where we take on a "living history" role with as much emphasis on authentic living conditions in the field as is possible.
