2nd Netherlands Light Cavalry Brigade - van Merlen's Horse


History
Led by General Jean Baptiste van Merlen, the 2nd Netherlands Light Cavalry Brigade was one of three Dutch and Belgian cavalry brigades to serve at the battle of Waterloo. Merlen's 2nd comprised the 5th (Belgian) Dragoons, and the 6th (Dutch) Hussars. Many of the troops in the brigade, including van Merlen himself, were former French troops who had defected to liberate their home country. At one point in the battle, on engaging with the 6th Chasseurs for Pire's Division, the French recognised the unit and called on their old comrades to defect. Merlen refused and ordered a charge. As it pulled back unsuccessful, their green uniforms were mistaken for the French Chasseurs by some British troops and they suffered further casualties form friendly fire. At Quatre Bras, the brigade was highly praised for its contribution to repulsing French cavalry attacks. General van Merlen was injured and killed at Waterloo, but not before releasing a former comrade - a general of the French army - saying  "General, this is my side of the battle, yours is over there. Take care of yourself; farewell!".


About us
We're a small Cavalry regiment dedicated to a high standard of quality in events, and a relaxed atmosphere outside of the game. We aim to provide a fair and balanced structure to our ranks, providing those who put time and effort into the regiment the chance to rise, but without any expectations being placed on our more casual members. We also aim to create a strong community, with ties outside of just Mount&Blade. We accept anyone, as long as they bring a decent level of maturity and respect the atmosphere and standard of the Regiment.
