Starting with Wellington's very own specialised troops, which is the Royal Guard. They had their own artillery, sapper regiment and cavalry.

Continuing with Wellington's army, we have the Foot and Coldstream guards, that were stationed in Hougoumont

Also, some big news. I managed to pirate a 330-page book about the evolution of uniforms in the British army. There is a big section on the Napoleonic wars, so feel free to tae a look :)

Nice threads OP, thanks for making them and keeping the quality of the board up.

British regiment banners

The banners did not exist until 1747 and only appeared during the war of Austrian succession. Regiments were known by their precedence number, not by the name, uniform or banner just before this point

British forces at West Indies

The colonial troops of Great Britain were poorly financed, a lot of men dying from fevers and diseases, some of them just after arrival. But that didnt stop the troops from successfully defending the colonies from French raids

Wellington's Dutch allies
I'll put those here, because they fought very closely with the British, and the uprising was greatly helped by Wellington.

The uprising in the Netherlands was spontaneous, as the soldiers didnt even have money for the uniforms, At the early stages, they used French uniforms, with the golden eagle broken off the shako. But as the uprising progressed, the army started to get its identity back, adding traditional color orange to the uniforms

>>17447905
>‘foot guards’
The ‘foot’ bit is just that they were infantry regiments of the Guards corp, the Coldstream Guards are a ‘regiment of foot guards’ (historically the 2nd Regiment of Foot Guards). The 1st are the Grenadier Guards but they didn’t get that title until after the Napoleonic Wars.
>>17447893
Artillery and Engineer units aren’t of the Royal Guard it’s just that their regiment/corps are titled ‘Royal’.

>>17449776
Following up on the Benelux, we have the Belgian troops.
Their uniforms were based on the Austrian ones, both tunics and shakos with the roman "LB" letters on them.

Thank you for the correction

If you want to make a deeper dive into Wellington's army, take look at this book, which talks about tactics, battles, uniforms and weapons of his army during the Peninsular war

>>What is your favourite regiment of the British army?
I’m partial to the highlander regiments. I really like the uniforms. I also discovered that a great grandfather of mine served in the 78th Highlanders, the Ross-shire Buffs. He enlisted in 1813 and served a couple decades, iirc. Don’t know if he saw any interesting combat (maybe he was with the regiment when it skirmished the French in Belgium in 1814), I just have the pension records.

>>17450023
Are there any sites where you search his army documents, so you could see if he ever took part in the battles in Belgium?

>>17450091
There’s the nationalaechives.gov.uk and I can find a catalogue description matching what I know. I can’t view anything else. It says it’s held by “The National Archives, Kew.” I’m not from the UK so I’m not sure what that means. Maybe one day I’ll call and request it or something.

>>17450126

>>17450126
I think it means that it cant be viewed on the site and you have to go to London to see it

Speaking of the Highlanders

King's German Legion

Made out of German volunteers after the electorate of Hannover was occupied by French troops, it was one of the most disciplined infantry units of the British army. The cavalry of the KGL was considered to be the best in the UK. Funnily enough, their first "battle" was a street fight between KGL and a British infantry unit in Tullamore

(The beloved Knotelposter might add something to this)

Also a quick glance at the Connaught Rangers. An infantry regiment which was made of Irishmen. Took part in almost every battle under Wellington's command

The Coldstream guards

Took part in the Peninsular war and battle of Waterloo under Wellington's command. They've often assisted Dutch rebels with battled in the Benelux

Hello OP, the Knötelposter is back. Great to see you making this thread more participative.
>>What is your favourite regiment of the British army?
I'm not from the UK so I'm going to post about the Kings German Legion, as this would be the closest to my home country.
The KGL was a formation of expatriate soldiers from mainly Hannover (as the Electorate of Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg [this being its official name]/Hannover[this being its lazy anglo name] was connected to the monarch of the UK through a personal union) but also other german states. Still, the greater core of this formation was of hannoverian origin - in 1803 the hannoverian army performed a self-dissolution in the onslaught of french armies with the Convention of Artlenburg. Thus "freed" from their service many hanoverian officers fled to the UK. In the same year, the King George III. entitled the english Major Halket and the hanoverian Lieutenant Colonel von der Decken with the raising of a corps of loyal german-born soldiers for the british crown. This the KGL was born - which itself was a mixed formation consisting of infantry, artillery and cavalry.
>pic rel
From reft to right: musketeer, Büchsenschütze - rifleman; as a german term for rifle is "Büchse", two officers and a Büchsenschütze again. All the men hail from the 1st Light Bataillon - hence the green uniform.

Soldiers of the 2nd Light Bataillion of the KGL. From left to right:
Bugler, Officer in parade dress (note the mirliton hat; relatively rare for the Napoleonic Wars), musketeer and a Büchsenschütze. The riflemen were most likey armed with the Baker Rifle, which itself was based on german military rifles of the 18th century. Already in the American Revolutionary War the english employed german riflemen and even developed a a military rifle based on german designs of their own: the Pattern 1776 Infantry Rifle.

A heavy dragoon of the KGL. Sadly no detail about which regiment the horseman belongs to. The KGL had two regiments of Dragoons, who wore red jackets. After 1812 they were reclassed as Light Dragoons and from that point onwards wore blue jackets.

In addition to the two dragoon regiments the KGL also had three Hussar regiments.
From left to right:
Officer of the 1st regiment, Officer of the 2nd regiment, Officer of the 3rd regiment and common hussar of the 3rd regiment.

Now soliers of the two light dragoon regiments, as we are now in 1814.
From left to right:
Soldier of the 1st Light Dragoon, Soldier of the 2nd Light Dragoon, Officer of the 1st Light Dragoons and Officer of the 2nd Light Dragoons

And lastly something about the artillery of the KGL. They had two Horse Batteries and 4 Foot Batteries (the difference between horse and foot artillery is, that for horse artillery every crew member is mounted - while for foot artillery the majority of the crew members had to walk).
From left to right:
Horse Artillery, Foot Artiller, Engineer Officer and Officer of the Foot Artillery.

Some foreign units in service of the british army.
From left to right:
Musketeer of the Loyal Emigrant Regiment - through the Enlistment Act 1794 the UK was able recruit non-british subjects into the british army; even as comissioned officers. And as not every frenchman agreed with the revolution, this french unit was one of the first offical foreign units.
Musketeer of Antichamp - I couldn't find out anything and Google doesn't help. Perhaps I'm reading this term wrong. The site I pulled this pic from just labels him as a french emigre in british service.
Uhlan from the "Hullans Britanniques" - again; I couldn't find anything about this unit.
Yorkish Rifleman. I couldn't find out if there is a relation ot the city of York in England or if it is a foreign unit.

>>17447852
Does this count?

>>17450967
Coomers ought to be launched directly into the Sun

>>17450627
My guess is that the Uhlans are just unspecific British Lancers and that the Jägers are the 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment of Foot (Light Infantry). The text below only seems to be talking about the Loyal Emigrant Regiment and would seem weird that "British Uhlans" and "Yorkish Jägers" are also foreign.
But I don't know.
