Regiments who were required to employ speed and stealth in their role as scouts and skirmishers ahead of the main body were not authorized to carry Colours. In Canada this included both hussar and rifle regiments. 2, record 1, English, - hussar%20regiment

The hussars played a prominent role as cavalry in the Revolutionary Wars(1792–1802) and Napoleonic Wars(1803–15). As light cavalrymen mounted on fast horses, they would be used to fight skirmish battles and for scouting. Most of the great European powers raised hussar regiments. The armies of France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia had included hussar regiments since the mid-18th century. In the case of Britain, four light dragoon regiments were converted to hussars in 1806–1807. 3, record 1, English, - hussar%20regiment

The Quadruple Alliance was a treaty signed in Paris on 20 November 1815 by the United Kingdom, Austria, Prussia, and Russia. It renewed the alliance first agreed to in 1813 and it modified the aims of the alliance from defeating Napoleon Bonaparte to upholding the settlement following the Napoleonic Wars : with France's admission in 1818, it became the Quintuple Alliance, though British government distaste for the other allies’ reactionary policies meant that it lapsed into ineffectiveness after the mid-1820s. 1, record 2, English, - Quadruple%20Alliance

The North German Confederation(German : Norddeutscher Bund), came into existence in August 1866 as a military alliance of 22 states of northern Germany with the Kingdom of Prussia as the leading state. In July 1867 it was transformed into a federal state. It provided the country with a constitution and was the building block of the German Empire, which adopted most parts of the federation's constitution and its flag. 2, record 3, English, - North%20German%20Confederation

La Confédération de l'Allemagne du Nord (en allemand, Norddeutscher Bund) fut un état fédéral de 22 États allemands situés au nord de la ligne du Main de 1867 à 1871, créé sur initiative du ministre-président de Prusse Otto von Bismarck à la suite de la guerre austro-prussienne de 1866 et de la dissolution de la Confédération germanique. Ayant battu les troupes autrichiennes à la bataille de Sadowa le 3 juillet 1866, le Royaume de Prusse annexe les États qui avaient soutenue l'Autriche : le Royaume de Hanovre, le Schleswig-Holstein, le Duché de Nassau, la Hesse-Cassel (ou Hesse électorale), et la partie au nord du Main de Hesse-Darmstadt, ainsi que la ville impériale de Francfort-sur-le-Main. L'Autriche est exclue de la «Petite Allemagne» et doit accepter les annexions prussiennes et la dissolution de la Confédération germanique par le traité de Prague le 23 août. La Confédération est créée le 18 août 1866 sous la forme d'une alliance militaire, dite l'alliance d'Août. 2, record 3, French, - Conf%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration%20de%20l%27Allemagne%20du%20Nord

La Federación Alemana del Norte (en alemán, Norddeutscher Bund) tuvo su inicio en 1867, luego de la disolución de la Confederación Germánica. Formada por 22 estados del Norte de Alemania, fue un agrupamiento transitorio, que duró solo hasta la proclamación del Imperio Alemán en 1871. A diferencia de la Confederación Germánica, la Federación Alemana del Norte fue un verdadero estado. Su territorio estaba comprendido por las partes de la Confederación Germánica que se encontraban al norte del Main; los territorios orientales de Prusia y el Ducado de Schleswig, pero excluía a Austria, Baviera, Württemberg, Baden y los territorios meridionales del Gran Ducado de Hesse. 1, record 3, Spanish, - Federaci%C3%B3n%20Alemana%20del%20Norte
