The Hussars were the most colourful branch of the French army. Ironically their main role as light Cavalry was to seek out and spy on enemy positions.

This is a member from the 9th Hussars, 1807.

    "Commander, there's a man in red and blue looking at us."
    "Can't possibly be a spy. Invite him for a little wine, and we'll send him on his way."
