MA 5098 Trooper, 5th Cuirassiers, 1811

Owing to the heavy casualties suffered by the carabiniers in the 1809 campaign, the Emperor decreed that they should be armored to the same advantage as the cuirassiers. In this way the two corps drew together in being the only troops of the Grande Armeé who were armored, while at the same time they diverged in breaking away from their traditionally similar dress.
