In 1993 an idea was envisaged to re-create a historical unit of Polish cavalry set in one of the most colourful periods of military history… the Napoleonic Wars.
The unit chosen was that of the 1st Polish Lancers of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard on the grounds that to many historians, model makers and war gamers this regiment was perhaps the best known of many Polish units of that time that served the Emperor Napoleon and was privileged to serve as the bodyguard to this most famous of men during turbulent times that re-shaped Poland and Europe
