From left to right:
The trumpet, the Brigadier Providence, the surgeon Aide-Major, the Bold, the Viscount (eagle-holder)
Fauchepiaille, the Slasher, the Captain, Cossack (Hussard of the 7th Rgt.)
For the eagle holder, an additional difficulty: Driving with one hand. Fortunately, it’s a Pro.
The Trumpet: the colours of the uniform are inverted and the mane Helmet is white.
