Well. I'm currently in a source problem and I need some help with interpretation.
For my pre-1812-Nappie project, I stumbled accross a number of pictures of units of the Kingdom of Holland.
I discovered that there was a number of line infantry regiments (see: http://www.1789-1815.com/hollande.htm), but I always only found regiments 2-9. What about no.1? One text refers to them as 'guards' - but are they an own unit or identical with the Dutch grenadiers of the old guard in white uniforms? Perhaps the guard grenadiers on Knoetels' page?
Again, I found not much about Dutch light infantry. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/19 ... antry.jpg/ shows a soldier of 3rd light, http://www.1789-1815.com/hollande.htm one of 2nd light. And that's it. No no.1 regiment again? Additionally, both uniforms have a totally different breast shape. And if that wasn't enough, I found an old Suhr page with light infantrymen in several different uniforms (http://tinyurl.com/bc6jppp). This is total madness - soldiers marked as 2nd and 3rd regiment, in three differently shaped styles of uniforms, coloured in various combinations of red, yellow and pink. No blue. And all mixed wildely together. But due to my list, there were only two light infantry regiments at all - coloured either in yellow or sky blue. So what is that? What is right and what is wrong?
Im utterly confused.
Stupid me. Who might light up my dark?
