0 a soldier who belongs to the part of an army that used lances in the past:
the Queen's Royal Lancers
One must take the plunge, he said, "il faut se lancer ", or the chance might pass and not come again.
A dark green lancer style tunic was worn with white facings and chain mail epaulettes, together with dark blue overalls with white stripes.
Hussars and lancers wore only black and white, the red being omitted.
Their uniforms varied greatly, lacking the characteristic features of hussar or lancer regiments.
The other project, major lancer and the starlight squadron was a holdover from a proposed comic strip he created during high school.
Line, light and fusilier regiments used one pattern collar, dragoon guards and dragoons used another pattern, hussars another pattern, and lancers another pattern.
The unique distinction of scarlet lancer tunic and dark blue plastron was retained in full dress until 1914.
Within a few minutes of combat the lancers had been routed, many being captured and held for ransom.
