Lauzun's Legion (American Revolution)

Lauzun's Legion is a French regiment in the American War for Independence. The unit formed in March 1780 from various detachments of French and many foreign volunteers in the French army and navy. It was commanded by Armand Louis de Gontaut-Biron, duc de Lauzun.

It had about 600 men (300 cavalry and 300 light infantry). The American Revolution could not have been won without the help of the troops supplied by the French allies.
