NAPOLEONIC WARS - BRITISH INFANTRY 1815 Item No. 6095

Description

The steady “squares” of Wellington's Infantry resisted the countless cavalry charges of Marshal Ney at Waterloo, and dramatically affected the outcome of the most famous battle of the Napoleonic age. The 2nd Regiment Coldstream Guards, one of the most celebrated units, took part in the defense of the Hougoumont farm. They are represented here with their trusty “Brown Bess” flintlock muskets.
