Lancers (called ułan in Polish) during the 17th-19th centuries were cavalrymen who generally fought on horseback with the traditional weapon of choice, a lance. They were true volunteers, who owed their honored place in Napoleon's Imperial Guard to their proven courage on battlefields from Spain to Russia.
