Landwehrbataillon Muenden 1815

Maps - Booth: Battle of Waterloo 1852

Den Anfang macht "The Battle of Waterloo, with those of Ligny and Quatre Bras, described by eye-witnesses and by the series of official accounts published by authority." von L. Booth, London, 1852, eleventh edition.

Interessanter Weise sind hier die Bataillone der 4ten Hannoverschen Brigade mit den Landwehrbataillonen Münden, Osterode, Lüneburg und Verden gar nicht dargestellt. Das sind immerhin 2600 Mann die hier fehlen! Das das keiner bemerkt hat ist schon komisch.
