At the battle of Waterloo, the companies of the 2nd Regiment fought in defence of the castle of Hougoumont, and the farm of Papelotte.
Each Nassau regiment consisted of three battalions, each comprising four Fusilier companies, one Grenadier company, and a “Flanquer” company of light Infantry.
The uniform of the 2nd Regiment were only slightly modified from those in use under the Confederation of the Rhine. The regiment wore green coat and breeches with black facings and yellow lace. The French style shako was covered in black waterproof material. Pompons were in the company colours: light blue for the 1st company, white for the 2nd, yellow for the 3rd, and green or black for the 4th. Grenadiers wore a bearskin busby with red plume and cords, and red French style epaulettes. The Flaquers wore green shako cords, yellow tipped green plume and green epaulettes. Also of note were the yellow-buff belts, peculiar of the Nassau regiments.
The 2nd Nassau-Usingen Regt. Was placed together with the Regiment of Orange-Nassau in the 2nd Dutch-Belgian Division of Leutenant General Baron de Perponcher in the Prince of Orange’s I Corps.
