Do you have a foot that speaks Dutch? Or does it originate there? Good luck.lol
Ah ok, you can see it with some words
By the way, are you Dutch or from NA?We are from NA but we also accept EU players (And I know a little bit of Dutch, and some of my relatives live there)
There is one suggestion:Thanks, and I fixed it
Werven means basicly "Recruiting", I think the right rank of this would be: Rekruut.
Good luck and nice that there is another Dutch regiment
The 12th (later 8th) Dutch Line was one of the 45 battalions of Line infantry raised in 1814. The unit was formed from conscripts and volunteers of the Den Haag Military District, the Netherlands. Between March and May 1814, 846 man and 39 officers joined the battalion. Many of them were not in the unit by the time of the Waterloo Campaign. Many of these "first joiners' retired (mostly officers), others were going to overseas units, or were simply leaving the battalion for various other reasons. As the unit was raised in Den Haag they were stationed at the Zoutman Kazerne (barracks). These barracks were built 1807 on a place called "Warmoesland" behind "Westeinde". The buildings were eventually torn down and there are no known pictures or drawings of them. Luitenant-Kolonel Willem, de Graaf (Count), van Bijlandt was appointed the first commander. It was under his leadership that the unit became a military battalion. See the names of officers and men. The information below is from the Dutch "Requil Militair 1813,1814 & 1815", a bundle of the original Dutch army orders issued every year. The militia battalion numbers 1-20 were Dutch, 21-45 Belgium. Besides these 45 battalions there were the 16 regular infantry battalions (numbered 1-16), 3 Dutch jagers, 2 Belgium jager (35 and 36) battalions, 7 Colonial and one colonial depot (numbered 19-26 and 33) battalions, one garrison and 4 Swiss battalions (in two regiments, battalion numbers 29-32).
