The Hanoverian Army of the Napoleonic Wars (Men-at-Arms) [Paperback]

Peter Hofschroer (Author), Bryan Fosten (Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: Men-at-Arms | Publication Date: March 23, 1989

Of all the armies of the German States, that of Hanover remains of greatest interest to the British reader due to the close links between the crowns of the two states. Throughout the Napoleonic era Britain and Hanover had the same head of state, George III. Symbolic of their close relationship, the Hanoverian Army wore uniforms and used equipment largely similar to those used by the British Army. Complemented by numerous illustrations and photographs, plus eight full page colour plates, this text explores the uniforms and organization of the army of the Electorate of Hanover and the King's German Legion.
