The Duke of Wellington’s armies of the Napoleonic Wars were built from troops of all manner of nations and principalities; whom on the whole were British officered and trained; and who fought very well alongside their British comrades. The Hanoverian troops were; of course; German. They joined up in the British army to carry on the fight against Napoleon; the tyrant of the continent; when so many of their German cousins elected to fight for Bonaparte. They fought the same as British line troops in a two-deep formation; carried similar colours; and followed British drill. They wore either the Belgic shako; like their counterparts in British regiments or; as modeled here; the neat peaked forage cap which distinguished them from other units. This boxed set can be fielded as a Hanoverian Field Battalion or a Landwehr unit.
