I am trying to find out details of the actions of the 8th (Belgian) Hussars at Waterloo. Far from being cowards, as many British writers claim, they are described by some witnesses as behaving with "insane gallantry".
There was a long discussion of the role of Netherlands troops at Waterloo on this board about a year ago, but there was no specific mention of the Belgian regiments. KillerMongoose was particularly interested and said that he was thinking ofg writing a paper on the battle, but I don't think he ever did. I did message him, but I think he has left the board.
I've learned that gamers seem more concerned with the minutiae of Waterloo than most historians. Can you tell me what the 8th were doing?
