Hi Guys
So who's guns did the Netherland's forces use during The 100 Days?
British or French? |

Interesting picture for this question. The Netherlands forces were effectively organised and equipped as per the French. Open trailed 6Pdrs and 5.5 inch howitzers. Source Adkin. Best wishes. Chris |

As Chris says, their equipment was basically French including harness and ancillary equipment. There is some discussion as to whether they were still painted French artillery green or some other colour. I have assumed the former and paint my models accordingly. |

You mean you really believe this is the final word on "Dutch" anything in 1815? Netherlands 1815 is a minefield. Did they have the rear peak on the shako, so typical of Austria? Did the Foot artillery have that unique plaque shown in the Brussels Museum etc etc etc… Or how much was actually 1816/17, when they do seem to have been re-equipped, whether North or South Netherlands, Belgium/Dutch, Flemish/Walloon, Spanish or Austrian Netherlands, so many other terms?… |

As Deadhead has eluded to, with 1815 Dutch Belgian army conjecture is your new best friend. |

If anybody knows, it will be Erwin Mijlwijk. His website is at 1815fieldarmy.nl
Where you can also order his excellent and very detailed books on the Dutch-Belgian army at the Waterloo campaign. |
