1 But the regiments, both cavalry and infantry, were by no means ready for the impending action.
2 Gentlemen, I thank you all; all arms have behaved heroically: infantry, cavalry, and artillery.
3 I am not in the cavalry, Colonel, but I am a Russian general and if you are not aware of the fact.
4 Behind our position was a steep and deep dip, making it difficult for artillery and cavalry to retire.
5 The Emperors rode up to the flank, and the trumpets of the first cavalry regiment played the general march.
6 No, Peter Nikolaevich; I only want to show that in the cavalry the advantages are far less than in the infantry.
7 And the old cavalry captain, Kirsten, shouted enthusiastically and no less sincerely than the twenty-year-old Rostov.
8 The whole army was extended in three lines: the cavalry in front, behind it the artillery, and behind that again the infantry.

15 The cause of the confusion was that while the Austrian cavalry was moving toward our left flank, the higher command found that our center was too far separated from our right flank and the cavalry were all ordered to turn back to the right.
16 The troops of the center, the reserves, and Bagration's right flank had not yet moved, but on the left flank the columns of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which were to be the first to descend the heights to attack the French right flank and drive it into the Bohemian mountains according to plan, were already up and astir.
