Here are some documents on hunters of Africa . They were created in 1830, from Metro riders . The first held, inspired by combatants Polish insurrection against Russian, consisted of a tunic skirt very wide, and a czapska . They received the same weapons that hunters of France (XIX year gun, sword nineteenth year of light cavalry and spear for some)
Very quickly, this place full of passion and romance, gave way to hairstyles test (plate three) then the cap Africa. The tunic when she was no longer in scope to the great ceremonial dress, the jacket is a stable preferred campaign. Similarly, the officers quickly wore tunics with frogs floating parallel to the tunic-skirt!
The main characteristic hunters Africa is to have been rapidly with guns dragons, their role in A frica being similar to that of metropolitan Dragon ! Indeed in the early days of fighting the carabiner light cavalry and the lance found themselves still more annoying that useful and perfectly inadatés fighting in Algeria ! obtained the fighter's gun and Dragon Sabre 1822 (the latter until their dissolution in 1962!)
The first illustration shows keeping the cavalry of France landed in 1830 and their successors African hunters in the first held and with the spear.
This officer wears the beautiful place "Polish".
Both hunters were wearing campaign that will not change or very little until 1914. The man left the door cap Africa to be adopted until 1858 or it is replaced by the Taconnet which is nothing but a hard hat! The "cap" on the right is part of models trials of 1833 before the adoption of the left (thank you to those who saved them such horror!)
