Revision as of 18:33, 10 April 2004 by Piotrus (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)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
