Revision as of 18:20, 5 July 2004
I wrote the original very rough draft for this entry, and I've thought of something that should have been included but wasn't. There are still "hussar" units in modern armies, or at least in the British army. They are typically light armor or mechanized infantry reconaissance units. I believe British hussar units took part in the Iraq invasion of 2003. Readers may come across the word "hussar" in this context, so including a paragraph or so on modern hussar units might be a good idea.

10.IV.2004 The entry is quite good in its timeframe, but hussars were used earlier by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - as early as XVI century. If there are no objections, I will soon update your entry with information from following sources: http://www.jasinski.co.uk/wojna/comp/comp06.htm http://www.kismeta.com/diGrasse/HowHussarFought.htm http://www.jurekputter.freeserve.co.uk/polish/hussars.htm http://wiem.onet.pl/wiem/005b10.html
Polish Husaria
I think it's a mistake to put the Polish Husaria (a.k.a. "Winged Hussars") into Hussars topics as they have hardly anything common (they are cavalery of different types). I think that such an excellent military unit, maybe the best in it's time deserves it's own topic.
