Thanks for the review Darren. I think the French Army has always been fairly relaxed over the issue of facial hair. It's quite likely a gunner or pioneer would have a beard at this time; after all the nckname for the French soldier, "poilu" means "hairy" or "bearded one".
"Lord Raglan wishes the cavalry to advance rapidly to the front, follow the enemy, and try to prevent the enemy carrying away the guns. Troops of Horse Artillery may accompany. French cavalry is on your left. Immediate. Airey."
