Does anyone have this Partizan Press book? Does it contain information about the dutch colonial troops? |

According to Amazon.co.uk, it does. They are charging about 60 quid for it. Cheers,

Yes, the amazon description seems to indicate it, but the books is really expensive, so it would be nice to hear from those who have it. |

Yes and yes. I think it was 37 quid from Caliver books. |

It has info on colonial troops; just 1 page for the Republic of the United Netherlands period and about 5 or 6 pages for the Batavian Republic. Nothing for the Kingdom of Holland. |

Dear Fonzie, could you share the information in the book about the dutch colonial units in the americas? |
| Don Sebastian | 22 Aug 2015 11:08 a.m. PST |
Does the book has any information about the Uniforms of the Dutch militias in the Caribbean? |

Is there any uniform visual reference (pictures) of Revelotionary period Dutch troops? I'd love to see how they looked. |

this might do it – however I don't know for sure, here the text and then the link The uniforms of the Batavian Army recorded in a contemporary illustrated manuscript of a large and important collection. The foremost source of our knowledge of Dutch army uniforms during the Batavian
Republic (1795-1806) is an exceptional folio manuscript containing 39 coloured drawings,
entitled ‘Bijzondere kledinge der Bataafsche troupes 1802' (Special clothing of
the Batavian forces 1802). This manuscript was probably made by J.J. Geenaart, about
whom we know nothing, but he was, apparently, an insider. As uniform documentation,
the drawings are particularly interesting because in many cases the soldier is
shown from both the front and the back. Furthermore, the drawings are very detailed
and clearly executed. Genaart was no great master, but the composition, the freshness
of the colours and the quality and beauty of the draughtsmanship of the soldier's
faces are exceptional, making the drawings a delight to look at. The Army Museum
bought this manuscript in 1928 as part link it might be later than 1795?? |
