Uhlans, mainly Poles and Ukrainians from Galicia In 1809 "The [French] cuirassier division arrived, with the brigade of carabiniers at its head. ... Soon an uhlan regiment in six squadrons trotted up to within 200 paces of the carabiniers and launched a charge at full tilt. It reached their line but could not break it, as the second regiment of carabiniers was right behind the first, and behind it the rest of the cuirassier division. I saw a great many carabiniers with lance wounds, but a dozen or so uhlans had also fallen. Among our prisoners was a warrant officer, a fine looking man. A carabinier had cut him to the bone from his ear to his eye, and his blood flowed over his green uniform and onto the ground. ... The Emperor, learning the Austrian uhlans were Poles, bede me ask this man if he did not know that the Emperor wished to take Poland from those who had dismembered it and give it back to us. He answered bravely: 'I do know this, and if a Polish officer had approached our regiment we would have all followed him. But when we are ordered to charge we have to get on and doit, so nobody can say Poles are bad fighters." (Chlapowski - "Memoirs of a Polish Lancer" p 60)
