A Welcomed Addition to the History of the Waterloo Epoch!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wellington's Belgian Allies 1815 (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
Ronald Pawly has done an excellent job in capturing the history of Belgian arms in the period between Napoleon's first abdication in 1814 and his final defeat at Waterloo over a year later on June 18, 1815. Mr. Pawly has drawn from a variety of sources with special attention to the Archives of the Belgian Royal Army. The book contains a wealth of illustrations rarely seen in other Napoleonic historical treatments. "Wellington's Belgian Allies 1815" highlights the fact that many officers in the Belgian army of 1815 were veterans of Napoleon's Grande Armee prior to his departure from the French throne in 1814 and found themselves, while wearing the French cross of the Legion of Honour earned on Napoleon's behalf, fighting the very units they had served in from 1806-1814. Mr. Pawly does a superb job in tracing out various unit histories and describing their uniforms. This book is a very welcomed addition to the period in addressing a much overlooked ally of the European coalition against the Emperor Napoleon during the Hundred Days Campaign.
