Providing members with outstanding value
The new book on the Netherlands contingent contains a wealth of previously unpublished letters and reports which have been translated from the handwritten manuscripts. The information contained therein provides an insight into the part played by the troops during the campaign. The material highlights the difficulties encountered with the Duke of Wellington, and sheds new light on a number of the critical events, including the defeat of the Garde Impériale at the climax of the battle of Waterloo. The book is an essential addition to every Napoleonic collection.
Dedicated to primary research on the Waterloo campaign
Colour illustrations by Gerry Embleton
1815 Limited has been fortunate to call upon Gerry Embleton to illustrate the book on the Netherlands contingent. With the assistance of the new information contained within the letters and reports, and considerable research into the uniforms, weapons and equipment, the book is enlivened with ten pages of colour plates depicting the most important scenes from the contemporary correspondence. The nature of the combat and the role of the Netherlands troops are immediately obvious and enhanced by the addition of full colour maps.
A professional source for reference material on Waterloo
Unpublished documents available online
The unpublished items from the Netherlands contingent form a single part of the study being undertaken by 1815 Limited, and to obtain a full and balanced view of the events material from each of the participants has been collected. The online archive provides instant access to this collection of material, which has been obtained from all the major historical centers in Europe. We conservatively estimate that by the end of 2010 the archive will contain documents with a value in excess of £300.00 GBP. Therefore, the special introductory offer provides you with outstanding value.
