Ratch Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Thanks Paul, if you want help with colours just shout. Each regiment had distinctive facing colours (usually collars & cuffs) and musicians (including drummers) were different again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 These figures represent the Landwehr Battalion Hildesheim, who formed part of the Hanoverian 5th Brigade. They were rather poor relations of the Allied army at Waterloo. They were a local militia raised in 1814 and poorly equipped. Hardly any had bayonets. The white shakos were intended for regiments in the West Indies but were supplied to these units as a stopgap, mixed with the usual black ones, although these were the old pattern stovepipe type, rather than the new Belgic caps. Officers did get Belgic shakos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 52nd Oxfordshire Light Regiment The Light Infantry were uniformed in a similar fashion to the Line, but retained the stovepipe shako, which bore a bugle-horn badge and green plume. The shako with the tuft at the front. Officers were distinguished by wings and carried the curved flank company sabre. Other ranks also wore wings and carried a shorter and lighter version of the Brown Bess musket. Drummers wore reversed colours and had lace decoration to facings and to sleeve arms and back seams of the jacket. Their sleeves were covered with five, lace chevrons, point up; drums were brass, the hoops usually in the facing colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
