Are there any good books, besides the volume by rawkins which I have, that cover the hannoverians in this period? |

Depends what you're looking for, organisation, uniforms, combat record, memoirs etc. Aside from the obvious Ospreys, Ompteda's memoir, etc. there's also Nafziger's 'The Armies of Hanover, Brunswick, Hesse-Cassel and the Hanseatic Cities (1792-1815)'. |

Again, depending on interest, Beamish's History of the King's German Legion can help out on personnel. Several officers resigned from the KGL c.1810-1812, returned to Hanover as civilians and then took up Hanoverian commissions in 1813. (Yes, I'm suspicious too. But as with the recent-immigrant ex-soldiers who organized Tory units in the AWI, I can't prove anything.) |

The Most valuable work about the Hanoverian army is the second volume of Friedrich Schirmer‘s NEC Abspera terrent. And you‘re lucky, as this work is still available as Download at link Schirmer used lots of Archivarl material and original objects. Greetings from Berlin

I echo the comments of Markus on Schirmer. In addition I have posted extracts of a number of articles from Zeitschrift für Heereskunde:
