Brunswick & Hanover troops
Brunswick Leib (Guard) Battalion. |
Today I want to anticipate the subject of my
next posts.
These are some of the Hanoverian and Brunswick troops, inexperienced, but loyal, who joined by
the army of Wellington to Quatre-Bras and Waterloo .
For now I own two battalions of Hanover and two battalions of Brunswick :
- Hanoverian Bremen Field Battalion
- Hanoverian Verden Landwehr Battalion
- Brunswick
Leib Battalion
- Brunswick
Line 1st Battalion
In the future I would like to expand the
collection with other units. In particular I would like to buy the Perry’s
miniatures of hussars and artillery of Brunswick
and of course, the Duke of Brunswick with his officers.
Soon the good friend Luca will paint the 5th Belgian
Light Dragoons Regt. and the British 2nd Regt. of Foot Guards (Coldstream).
Oggi voglio anticipare il
soggetto dei miei prossimi post.
Si tratta di alcune delle truppe
hannoveriane e di Brunswick, inesperte, ma leali, che affiancarono l’armata di
Wellington a Quatre-Bras e a Waterloo.
Per ora possiedo due battaglioni
di Hannover e due battaglioni di Brunswick:
- Hanoverian Bremen Field-Battalion
- Hanoverian Verden Landwehr Battalion
- Brunswick
Leib Battalion
- Brunswick
1st Line Battalion
In futuro vorrei ampliare la
collezione con altre unità. In particolare vorrei acquistare le miniature degli
ussari e dell’artiglieria di Brunswick e naturalmente, lo stesso duca di
Brunswick con i suoi ufficiali.
Prossimamente il buon amico Luca
dipingerà il 5° Regt. Dragoni Leggeri Belgi e il 2° Guardie a Piedi (Coldstream)
britanniche.

Merry Christmas!
Dear friends,
I want to say hello and wish Merry Christmas to all those who follow me and share this wonderful hobby.
Unfortunately, the demands of work and family, sometimes prevent me to respond to your post in a short time. Also, sometimes I can not comment on time the beautiful creations of other bloggers, sorry.
On this occasion I would like to apologize to foreign visitors for my "horrible" English translations ;-)
Thank you all for your comments and for visiting the blog. Special thanks to Phil and Luca!
Best Wishes!
Simmy
Cari amici,
voglio salutare e augurare Buon Natale a tutti quelli che mi seguono e condividono questo splendido hobby.
Purtroppo gli impegni di lavoro e di famiglia, mi impediscono qualche volta di rispondere ai vostri post in breve tempo. Inoltre, qualche volta non riesco a commentare in tempo le bellissime realizzazioni degli altri blogger, scusatemi.
Con l'occasione vorrei scusarmi con i visitatori stranieri per le mie "orribili" traduzioni in inglese ;-)
Grazie a tutti per i commenti e per aver visitato il blog. Un grazie particolare a Phil e Luca!
Auguri!
Simmy

Sherburne's Additional Continental Regt. 1777
Col. Hanry Sherburne's Additional Continental Regiment, 1777. |
Continental Line, on the right the Sherburne's Additional Continental Regiment. |
The Col.
Hanry Sherburne’s Additional Continental Regiment was raised in January 1777 by
Henry Sherburne from Connecticut and Maryland recruits.
The regiment served in Connecticut
1777, throughout the Hudson Highland's, and in Rhode
Island and New Jersey
to 1780.
Sherburne’s unit served simultaneously in the same theaters and actions
as Webb’s Additional Continental Regiment and in May 1780 was broken up, many
of its soldiers grafted to Webb’s command. Abundant deserter descriptions all
describe brown coats faced yellow and blue or green breeches.
My Sherburne’s Regiment is made up of 16
figures.
The soldiers are conversions of British
redcoats from the Front Rank AWI range.

Il Reggimento Continentale
Addizionale del colonnello Sherburne è stato creato nel gennaio 1777 da
Henry Sherburne con reclute del Connecticut e del Maryland.
Il reggimento ha servito in
Connecticut nel 1777, in tutte le Hudson Highland e in Rhode Island e nel New
Jersey fino al 1780.
L’unità di Sherburne ha servito
contemporaneamente e negli stessi teatri d’azione del Reggimento Continentale
Addizionale di Webb e nel maggio 1780 è stata sciolta, molti dei suoi soldati sono
confluiti nel comando del colonnello Webb. Numerose testimonianze da parte di soldati
disertori descrivono giubbe marroni con mostreggiature gialle e calzoni blu o
verdi.
Il mio Reggimento di Sherburne è
costituito da 16 figure.
I soldatini sono conversioni di giubbe
rosse britanniche dal range AWI della Front Rank.

2nd Nassau-Usingen Regiment, 18152
2nd Nassau-Usingen Regiment. |
2nd Nassau-Usingen Regiment. |
King William I of the Netherlands was also Grand Duke of Nassau, and
in consequence the 1st and 2nd Nassau Regiments and
Regiment of Orange-Nassau joined the Netherlands Army and fought in the Waterloo campaign.
The 2nd Regiment fought at
Quatre-Bras defending the wood of Bossu from attacks by the French infantry
brigade of Jerome Bonaparte.
At the battle of Waterloo ,
the companies of the 2nd Regiment fought in defence of the castle of Hougoumont ,
and the farm of Papelotte.
Each Nassau
regiment consisted of three battalions, each comprising four Fusilier
companies, one Grenadier company, and a “Flanquer” company of light Infantry.
The uniform of the 2nd Regiment were
only slightly modified from those in use under the Confederation of the Rhine . The regiment wore green coat and breeches with
black facings and yellow lace. The French style shako was covered in black waterproof material. Pompons
were in the company colours: light blue for the 1st company, white for
the 2nd, yellow for the 3rd, and green or black for the 4th.
Grenadiers wore a bearskin busby with red plume and cords, and red French style
epaulettes. The Flaquers wore green shako cords, yellow tipped green plume and
green epaulettes. Also of note were the yellow-buff belts, peculiar of the Nassau regiments.
The 2nd Nassau-Usingen Regt. Was
placed together with the Regiment of Orange-Nassau in the 2nd
Dutch-Belgian Division of Leutenant General Baron de Perponcher in the Prince
of Orange’s I Corps.
The regiment fought at Quatre-Bras defending
the wood of Bossu from attacks by the French infantry brigade of Jerome
Bonaparte.
At the battle of Waterloo companies of the 2nd Regiment fought
in defense of the castle and the farm of Hougoumont Papelotte.

Il re Guglielmo I dei Paesi Bassi
era anche gran duca di Nassau e di conseguenza il 1° e il 2° Reggimento di
Nassau e il Reggimento di Orange-Nassau erano aggregati all’armata dei Paesi
Bassi e hanno combattuto nella campagna di Waterloo.
Il 2° Reggimento ha combattuto a
Quatre-Bras difendendo il bosco di Bossu dagli attacchi della brigata di
fanteria francese di Jerome Bonaparte.
Alla battaglia di Waterloo le
compagnie del 2° Reggimento hanno combattuto a difesa del castello di
Hougoumont e della fattoria di Papelotte.
Ogni reggimento di Nassau
consisteva di tre battaglioni, ciascuno comprendente quattro compagnie di
fucilieri, una compagnia di granatieri e una compagnia di “Flaquers”
(volteggiatori) di fanteria leggera. L’uniforme del 2° reggimento era stata
solo leggermente modificata da quella in uso sotto la Confederazione del Reno.
Il reggimento indossava giubba e pantaloni verdi con mostreggiature nere
filettate di giallo. Lo shako in stile francese era coperto da materiale
impermeabile nero. I pompon erano nei colori della copagnia: celeste per la 1°
compagnia, bianco per la 2°, giallo per la 3°, e verde o nera per la 4°. I granatieri
indossavano un berrettone di pelo d’orso con pennacchio e cordoni rossi, e spalline di stile francese rosse. I
volteggiatori indossavano cordoni dello shako verdi, pennacchio verde
sormontato di giallo e spalline verdi. Degni di nota erano anche le bandoliere
di colore giallo camoscio, peculiari dei reggimenti di Nassau.
Il 2° Reggimento di
Nassau-Usingen era inserito assieme al Reggimento di Orange-Nassau nella 2°
Divisione belga-olandese del tenente generale barone de Perponcher nel I Corpo
del principe d’Orange.
Il reggimento ha combattuto a
Quatre-Bras difendendo il bosco di Bossu dagli attacchi della brigata di
fanteria francese di Jerome Bonaparte.

Hougoumont e della fattoria di Papelotte.
