| The King's German Legion (2) : 1812-16 (Men-at-Arms) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This title is the completion of a two-part study of the King’s German Legion – the largest and most respected of the foreign corps which fought as integrated elements of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. The light and heavy cavalry, light and line infantry, and horse and foot artillery of the KGL made major contributions to Wellington’s victories in the latter part of the Peninsular War, and several units covered themselves with glory at Waterloo. Drawing upon new research in British and Hanoverian archival sources, Mike Chappell’s detailed text and meticulous illustrations offer unprecedented details of this impressive fighting organisation.

A great book about the King Of England's German troops from Hanover that did their bit for King and Country. Who by doing so also established a great combat record for Bravery and overall professionalism. RSM Chappell has done a 1st rate job that is worthy of its subject.

The written portion concentrates on the early history of the KGL and is an excellant synopsis. There is a short section on uniforms/equipt but the outstanding color plates and descriptions give you most of the detailed info that Osprey & Chappell are famous for. The b/w drawings are also helpful. This book and its mate fit in nicely with the other Napoleonic Brit Army Osprey titles.
