2 HISTORY OF THE 30th REGIMENT OF DRAGONS ( By Lt Colonel (H) Henri Azema A nd the participation of General Declety) 1st The decree of the Vendemiaire Year XII (September 24, 1803) prescribes a new r egistration of the cavalry. T hus the 4th Brumaire year XII, the 12th regiment of hussars s tationed in Bern, is transformed into 30th regiment of dragoons. After his creation, he moved to Moulins and then, in 1905, was directed to Italy where he was r ecruited with the 24th dragoons. G eneral Mermet commanded the division of dragoons composed of the 23rd and 29th dragons (general Frésia) and the 24th and 30th dragons ( General Lacour). A s early as October, the regiment joined Villafranca and then Baldoue. C AMPAIGN OF ITALY of 1805: T he Army of Italy entrusted to Massena took the offensive and took possession of Verona and t he two banks of the Adige on the night of 17th to 18th October On October 30, 1805, she fought the Austrian army which had taken position in the village of Caldiero in L ombar dy. D uring the battle, the Mermet division moved on to Bova by way of Santa Croce. S he has many responsibilities and is a brilliant contributor to the success of this commitment. O n 28 October, the dragoons of General Mermet crossed the Brenta river and removed the r ear positions of the Austrians. O n November 12, the cavalry arrived at the Tagliamento. On t he 21st she is at Laybach. The Lacourt brigade, with the 24th and 30th dragons, went to V ilach and advanced to Klagenfurth via the Tarvis pass. T he armistice stops the march of the A rmy of Italy. D ragons take their cantonment in the region of Udine.
3 T HE CONQUEST OF THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES: I n order to conquer The Kingdom of Naples the Emperor orders the creation of an army. The 30th dragoons are part of it but remain under the orders of General Mermet with the 24th a nd 29th dragons. T he expeditionary corps from Apulia marched on Lagonegro. On August 18, 1806, Mermet defeated the insurgents at Carolet. The capture of Armentla, the last refuge o f the Calabrians, enabled the country to be totally pacified on 6 February The 30th dragoons left the expeditionary force and the army of Naples at the end of October 1806 and t ook garrison at Alexandria. C AMPAIGN OF 1809: T he Austri ans took the offensive on April 10, On May 7, 1809, the 4- squadron regiment was part of Grouchy's cavalry division and fought victoriously during the passage of the Piave to the ford of Saint- N ichols. On May 9, the p ursuit of the Austrian army brought the 30th dragoons, after crossing the Tagliamento, near C anova. O n July 6, 1809, the same squadrons fought at Wagram. By their remarkable charges, the dragoons of the 30th participated actively in the success and brought to the regiment the i nscription "Wagram" to its standard. The battle being won, the pursuit brings the regiment to A usfsthal where it is confined. O n 10 July, the 7th and 30th dragons seized the Vesterrnitz bridge. The armistice of Inaim

On September 7, 1812 he was engaged in the battle of the "Moskova", actively participating i n the charge against the reserves of the Russian infantry and sweeps all the enemy cavalry. T he 30th dragons came out very well from this battle but the combined actions of the Grand A rmy opened the road to Moscow. T he name "Moskava 1812" is inscribed on the banner.
