HISTORIQUE :
En 1870, le 8em Cuirassiers est à l'armée du Rhin et prend une part glorieuse à la charge de Morsbronn (bataille de Froeschwiller) pour couvrir la retraite de l'armée. La charge conduit le régiment dans les rues du village de Morsbronn où l'ennemi le fusille des fenêtres. Il combat ensuite contre le 13e hussards prussiens et perd dans la bataille 20 officiers et de nombreux cavaliers. Il est emmené en captivité après Sedan.
