VtwinVince Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 People need to remember that Bluecher was co-victor at Waterloo.
IrishGunner Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I like these regimental anniversary medals. I have two: 1.Kurhessisches Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.11 Fußartillerie-Regiment von Linger (Ostpreußisches) Nr.1 I need to get my scanner working again and post them.
saxcob Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Thank you Chris for reminding us again of the role the two Nassau regiments played at Waterloo. Many people are not aware that Hougomont was held by them alone before the English arrived. Please find below some examples of the two regimental anniversary medals and a picture of a group of recipients Recommended reading: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/61882-nassauers-at-waterloo-waterloo-medal/?hl=nassauers http://www.garethglovercollection.com/Martin_Mittelacher.htm Edited July 30, 2014 by saxcob
