Austrian Dragoon Regiment #4

This is Austrian D.R #4; the Inhaber in 1809 was FML Baron Franz Levenehr.

I used Delta CC "Poppy Orange" for the "bright red" facings; most illustrations show the color as an orange leaning scarlet hue. 

Early in the 1809 campaign it was part of Kienmayer's 2nd Reserve Corps.

After the 1st Battle of Landshut, the Regiment was reassigned to the III Corps.

It suffered very heavy losses at the Battle of Abensburg in April, and spent most of the rest of 1809 reorganizing and performing picket duties. 

These are more of the superb Piano Wargames figures by Lucas Luber.

The flag is from a free download from the Piano Wargames site.
