During the 100 days campaign, did the Dutch-Belgian army use French artillery guns or did the use British artillery guns? |

As said, they used the French An XI ordnance, mostly 6 pdrs. There has bee some debate about what colour the woodwork was as a uniform colour was not introduced until after the Napoleonic Wars. It is likely that French artillery green was on most carriages as per their recent sourcing. |

Thank you for the info. I guess the eight guns Ney captured at Quatre Bras were easy enough to add to his own batteries then. |

Well done Tango. That took a lot of work by you and it is very useful indeed. The TMP search facility is better than it was but still misses a lot. Thanks. That sort of input may answer many criticisms |

That is great contribution. I thought I had seen most of the contemporary illustrations of DB artillery, but there are few watercolours here that are new to me. The trumpeter in a shako and not the Belgian colpack. Brilliant. There is a large painting of a HA rider in the Brussels Museum also (not my best photo but…);

The figures are mostly Franznap Bavarians converted. |
paints brigs for the British fleet.
