In February, 1817, the regiment was again quartered near St.
Omer, for the convenience of field exercise; it was subsequently
stationed between Cambray and Valenciennes, and was again reviewed
in October, by the Duke of Wellington, together with the remainder
of British troops, and the Saxons, Danes, and Hanoverians. The
regiment was afterwards stationed at Cassel and adjacent villages.
[Sidenote: 1818]
Several changes of quarters took place in 1818; and the regiment
was at the grand military spectacles, when the army was seen by
their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Kent and Cumberland, and
when the Russians, British, Saxons, Danes, and Hanoverians were
reviewed, by the Emperor of Russia, King of Prussia, Prince of
Orange, Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, &c., &c. After these
reviews, the army of occupation quitted France: the SEVENTH HUSSARS
embarked at Calais, landed at Dover and Ramsgate, and marched to
Chertsey, &c.
On the night of the 1st of December the regiment attended the
funeral of Her Majesty Queen Charlotte.

On the 15th of July the two regiments of life guards, Blues, Third
light dragoons, and SEVENTH and Fifteenth hussars, with a brigade
of horse artillery, were reviewed on Hounslow-heath by his Royal
Highness the Duke of York.

After the review the SEVENTH HUSSARS marched to Brighton,
Chichester, and Hastings, with detachments on revenue duty on the
coast; but returned to the vicinity of Hounslow in the spring
of 1824, the head-quarters being at Hampton Court; and on the
7th of July they were again reviewed, with the same corps as in
