A study of the part of the Dutch-Belgian troops in Quatre Bras and Waterloo. A Napoleonic researcher presents the evidence regarding the Belgian units and explains their complex origins. The text is illustrated with monochrome studies and colour plates of troop uniforms. |
| Synopsis: |
Early British accounts of the Dutch-Belgian troops' part in Quatre Bras and Waterloo were, at best, grudging, and have been repeated ever since without serious examination. Contemporary documents in Continental archives now reveal the truth - that these troops, representing a third of Wellington's army, fought hard and took heavy casualties. An expert Napoleonic researcher and art historian present the evidence regarding the Belgian units; explain their complex origins; and illustrate the text with many new monochrome studies and colour plates of troop uniforms. |
