On the left side the “6 e régiment de dragons” (6th Dragons Regiment) and on the right side the “22 e groupe de reconnaissance de corps d'armée” (22nd Army Corps Reconnaissance Group) was provided.
  • May 10, 1940: at 5.30 a.m. the order to march to the Luxembourg border was given. The regiment's task was to destroy tracks, bridges and tunnels. Arrived in Dudelange at 6 p.m. , the order was lifted by the brigade.
  • May 11, 1940: at 12 noon the order to withdraw was given. The regiment was then in Zoufftgen overnight , with the exception of the 1st squadron, which was in Volmerange .
  • May 12, 1940: at 2 p.m. German troops attacked, forcing parts of the regiment to retreat. With the help of the 1st Squadron, however, the situation was initially cleared up.
  • May 13, 1940: apart from occasional artillery fire, the situation was calm. At the beginning of darkness the regiment withdrew behind the Maginot Line .
  • May 15, 1940: in the evening the entire brigade was withdrawn from Lorraine and transferred to the Somme in the Aumale region . The distance of 550 kilometers was covered in 14 stages.
  • The defense of the Andelle section
  • May 30, 1940: The first parts of the regiment arrived in Longpré-les-Corps-Saints (a municipality in the Somme department) and were ordered to reinforce the "2 e régiment de dragons parachutistes" (2nd Dragoons Parachute Regiment). These held a key position here.
  • May 31, 1940: After the arrival of the "Groupement de Beaumont" to take over the positions in Longprè, the hussars left the region to regroup and marched in the direction of Warlus .
  • June 1, 1940: The unit, still with two anti-tank guns "canons de 25", moved north without a plan.
  • June 6, 1940: The "5 e brigade de cavalerie" consisted only of the 4th hussar regiment and formed a reserve east of Aumale, where all the horses were located. The appearance of German armored spearheads led to a further evasion of the remaining forces.
  • June 7, 1940: The exhausted remains of the 6th Dragoon Regiment joined the 4th Hussar Regiment. There were still 22 officers in total, seven of them from the hussars. A third of the machine gun stock and two thirds of the anti-tank guns were destroyed.
  • June 8, 1940: The brigade moved south and covered the retreat of the "17 e division d'infanterie" (17th infantry division) to Rouen . 16 hours later the association was released from this mission and received the order to cross the Seine and the lower reaches of the Andelys to recover there.
  • June 9, 1940: After a march of 70 kilometers, the Acquigny region was reached. The brigade commander took over the command of all French and British troops present in order to prevent the enemy from crossing the Seine and entering the villages of Gaillon and Heudebouville (commune in the Seine-Eure department). In the evening, the brigade formed a defensive barrier on the Gaillon-Venable voie ferrée-Heudebouville line. Attempts were made in vain to catch up with their own troops in the south of Gaillon, the right flank remained uncovered. From that evening and through the whole night, the enemy felt repeatedly against the French lines, while the artillery shot at the crossings over the river, Bac de Muids and the island of Roule-Tosny.
  • June 10, 1940: Enemy forces broke through the front with air support. The hussars were completely exhausted and had to be shaken awake by their officers when they attacked. When Heudebouville was surrounded, the British units showed a dangerous apathy and were difficult to induce to fight. Another attack at 10:00 a.m. could be repulsed. From noon the section of the hussars was under heavy artillery fire, which was followed by an infantry attack. The situation became increasingly difficult. At 15:00 the enemy attacked the flank south of Gaillon. Thereupon the brigade commander submitted all forces at his disposal to the commander of the 4th Hussar Regiment. The front withdrew slowly to the south, covered by some British tanks and the 4th Hussars, which made the enemy slow to advance.

On the night that reached 5 e brigade de cavalerie finally the Eure and established himself in the forest and the villages on the left of the river one. By this time, another 8 soldiers had died and 13 were still missing.

  • Defending the Eure Line
  • June 11, 1940: At 1:00 a.m., an order was issued that the Eure line must be held with all strength. The 6th Dragoons were ordered to Heudreville, the 4th Hussars came to Cailly, La Croix Saint-Leufroy, Crevecoeur and Autheuil with the task of covering the right flank. Carrying out this task was fraught with difficulties, it was night and the troops were in a completely exhausted state. The German infantry meanwhile reached the top of the forest east of the river and advanced further through the valley. The section of the front held by the hussars was covered with concentrated artillery fire, while German troops began to advance against the right wing of the section. After the situation had become untenable, the order of the "3 e division cavalerie légère" (3rd Light Cavalry Division) was issued at 12 noon to break away from the front and to reorganize the units in Amfreville .

The regiment again suffered losses, three officers, 10 non-commissioned officers and 25 horsemen were dead or wounded. Two ensigns, the adjutant Simard and the lieutenant de Beauregard, were killed in action. On the evening of the same day the brigade was gradually able to assemble in the west of the river Iton near Amfreville.

  • June 12, 1940: After a march over 60 kilometers, the remnants of the brigade reached the region de Mare.
  • June 14, 1940: The brigade was ordered to Alençon and arrived here after heavy fighting with the German vanguard. The regiment then received marching orders to the Bois de Noirloup, west of Mayenne , where the division was to be restructured .

  • June 22, 1940: The radio announces that the armistice will be signed on June 25th.
  • July 1, 1940: The brigade commander informed the German command in Rennes about the condition of his unit.
