Guard Lt Cav Command

Here we have the commander of the guard light cavalry division;  General Lefebvre-Desnouettes and the commander of the lancer brigade Colbert-Chabanais. You have just got to love those elegant names which of course I have no idea how they are pronounced! My eldest daughter is taking A-level French and may shed some light here. I'm sure a family visit or two to Paris over the next couple of years may help also. :)

These are AB figures; Desnouettes  is dressed as a Chasseur a' Cheval officer and Chabanais is in fact the Poniatowski figure. He came with an ADC that I used elsewhere in another command base (Lasalle I think). The only difficulty is explaining away the furry cape he is wearing, I painted it up as a grey/white cloak which I know the guard lancers wore.
