| Oct 25, 2018 at 8:28 | comment | added | Gangnus | @PieterGeerkens Yes, they did, you are right. But that is rather the question of "ineffectiveness" of the lance in 19 Cent. It worked excellently against Napoleon Army. As for 20th Cent, the cutlass WAS effective, but the lance was not already. I didn't heard of its use except for training and parades. And attention: cossacks of 20th Cent. are not dragoons, even if they could be used as such. Cossacks were much more universal. So, mentioning of dragoons on Don seems very strange by itself. Your reference is not on the subj, BTW. | |
