The allied Army of the Netherlands was commanded by the Duke of Wellington during the Hundred Days campaign of 1815. In this polyglot force there were two Netherlands cavalry brigades – one of light; and one heavy brigade of Carabiniers. This consisted of one Belgian and two Dutch regiments; the Belgians looking splendid in their highly polished steel helmets and blue tunics. However; make no mistake; these were not just show soldiers. Commanded by General Trip van Zoudtlandt; they engaged the French many times on the day; with 40% of them having served in Napoleon's army until very recently.
Although we know that it is unlikely Dutch and Belgian troops would have carried colours at Waterloo; we have included a full-colour flag sheet as we know wargamers love to see their units literally flying the flag!
Box contains 12 mounted Warlord ResinTM figures; a flag sheet & plastic bases.
