1er regiment de cuirassiers - drapeau (France) STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A flat, vector-style rendering of the banner of the 1er régiment de cuirassiers, a French heavy cavalry regiment, shown as a vertical tricolour.

Visual Elements & Composition

Three equal vertical bands of blue, white and red make up the banner, with blue and red each taking about a third of the field and white the remainder. The rectangular form is centred and symmetrical, giving the piece the calm, upright structure of a formal standard. The surface carries inscriptions in the design, naming battles from the regiment's service record, among them JEMMAPES 1792, AUSTERLITZ 1805, EYLAU 1807, MOSKOWA 1812, LA MARNE 1918 and STUTTGART 1945.

Meaning & Symbolism

Each inscribed battle is a campaign honour, recorded on the colours of a French regiment to mark the actions in which it fought. The tricolour itself ties the banner to the French national flag, so the regiment's colours sit within the wider story of the nation's armies. The names run from the Revolutionary wars of 1792 through the Napoleonic campaigns, the First World War and the Second, and they read as a chronology of the regiment's service across more than a century and a half.

Cut to the Banner

A kiss-cut sticker is trimmed around the outline of its artwork while the backing stays whole, so the banner's straight edges and clean corners can be peeled off as a single piece. The glossy finish suits the crisp blue, white and red of the flag, and the sticker is best used on smooth indoor surfaces such as a laptop, a journal or a window.
