The Hussards de la Mort or Death Hussars were a French light cavalry company formed during the French Revolution.
History
On June 12, 1792 a squadron was created by the French Assembly formed from 200 volunteers. In July, Kellermann organizes the company naming Hussards de la Mort - Death Hussars. These volunteers, coming from mostly wealthy families, were provided with horses from the King's stables.[1][2]
On March 5, 1793 survivors of the squadron were merged into the 14th Cavalry Regiment by decree from the National Convention.
On April 25, 1793 the squadron was dissolved.
