Dutch
French
Belgium
Armies During the 1830 revolt and French invasion. I'm thinking there may be some tucked away in some of the osprey books but Especially the Dutch uniforms I am at a loss about. Thanks! |

I believe the Russians sent troops to put the nationalists down. Unfortunately for the Czar, the troops sent were the closest: Poles, who promptly joined the revolution. No idea of their uniform though. |

I have a book on the history Dutch Army which I think has a couple of paintings from this period… I'll have a check. would be happy to sell it. |

The book ‘A Concise History of the Dutch Army, 1568-1940' skips over the Belgian War of Independence in 4 pages and none of the 16 full page paintings cover the period. However, you should find quite a lot of relevant uniform plates at this link: link |

Try Google Images for 'Dutch Army 1830' or 'Belgian Revolution 1830' and a lot of useful images come up. They can also be a start point for other sources. |

Yes, that NYPL image resource has a bunch of useful images.
Thanks! |

Regarding the Poles of 1830 – I'm not sure which units you're talking about, as the Poles were involved in a war of their own against Russia, the Russo-Polish War of 1830-1831. If the Czar sent troops to Belgium before the 'November Insurrection' broke out, then they would look like Poles of the period. |

There is a book by J.F. Teupken which gives the descrption of the uniforms of 1823. When you google that name+uniforms you should ge t plenty of plates from the book |

Russians in the Belgian Revolution of 1830…?
There were only Polish Volunteers but with the Belgians and a unit named 'Cossacks of the Meuse' but from Belgians oustide Russia/Kingdom of Poland, concerning a participation against a Revolution/for Independence
there were Russians with the French and British for the Greeks in 1827-1828
but the massive intervention of the Russian Army took place rather againt the Hungarian Revolution in 1848, where others Poles fought with the insurgents |
