UNIFORMS OF THE ARMIES AT WATERLOO: Volume 3 - Prussian Army

1-218973

Contains a description of the 16 June 1815 Battle of Ligny that was fought at the same time as the Battle of Quatre Bras. Like in the two previous volumes, the plates by the 19th century artist Charles Lyall are critiqued based on current knowledge of the uniforms, equipment, and weapons. A detailed description of the Prussian forces' organization and uniforms supplements Lyall's illustrations. Two maps from William Siborne's rare atlas facilitate understanding of the course of the Battle of Ligny. This fills a long-standing gap of a comprehensive work on the Prussian Army of 1815.
