Historical context :

The cuirassiers are the prestigious riders of the Heavy Cavalry Regiments, with the famous helmet with crest and mane. Before the battle, the cavalry enlightens the army; during the battle, it supports the infantry, exploits its successes or creates the "event"; after the battle, it pursues the enemy or covers the retreat. The cuirassiers are in support of the light cavalry, of the line and to create the event for the rupture of a front! Thus the Emperor, at Waterloo, will be furious with Ney for having used the so-called reserve cavalry too soon...it was intended to exploit breaches in the opponent's defense at the most opportune moment!
