Wellington's Belgian Allies 1815
ISBN: 9781841761589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The army commanded by the Duke of Wellington at Quatre-Bras and Waterloo included two infantry divisions and three cavalry brigades of the newly-unified Netherlands (or 'Dutch-Belgian') army.

When Napoleon returned from exile in 1815 the Red Lancers were with him until night fell over Waterloo. Ronald Pawly...
