Belgian Carabiniers 1815

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 light and one heavy brigade of Carabiniers. The latter consisted of one Belgian and two Netherlands regiments, the Belgians looking splendid in their highly polished steel helmets and blue coatees. But make no mistake, these were not just show soldiers. Under the command of General Trip van Zoudtlandt they fought the French on several occasions. 40% of them had served in Napoleon’s army until recently.

Although we know that it is unlikely that the Dutch and Belgian troops carried flags at Waterloo, we have included a full-colour flag sheet as we know Wargamers love to see their units literally under the flag!

Box contains 12 mounted Warlord ResinTM figures, a flag sheet and plastic bases.
