As you probably know, the Frankfort collection was one of those wonderful and mysterious sources of uniform information, in this instance for the Peninsular War. The originals have disappeared, apparently lost after a bombing raid over Germany in the last war. I recall that there was an article, or perhaps a couple of articles, on the subject in Military Illustrated magazine. I've gone through the back issues that I have but they didn't contain the article. Would anyone happen to know in which issue it was published? Thanks, in advance, for your help.

You will find a link to this under "Waldeck Military – Useful Downloadable Material" (I think it is the last link). Sorry I cannot link you direct as currently away from my PCs. The articles are in German.

Many thanks Prince of Essling. That is the one on the link above. Issue 11 from 1988 I think.
