Hi btns
Many thanks for the interesting links. I think you have finally "nailed it" there ; The design on the Nassau Colours in your first link exactly matches the SBP posted by lex.
As for the question of whether or not Nassau was Dutch or German at that time, this remains problematical (to me at least). The text by Michael Glover in "The Armies at Waterloo" pp162-3 states ; "..Since the reigning families of the Netherlands and Nassau were closely linked, five Nassau Battalions formed a Brigade of the Netherlands Army under Prince Bernard of Saxe-Weimer..." ?? So, that statement in itself is puzzling !
Anyway, a good piece of research btns, and well done. Regards Jeff
