1 PORTUGESE INFANTRY SHAKO, 1806.
Malcolm Roberts
Can anyone provide me with details of the shako Portugese infantry might have worn in 1809. I believe it was the 1806 model. I would be grateful for front and back sketch if possible, and details of the plate.

I am interested in fielding some Portugese militia in my Peninsula army. Does anyone have details of what units fought with the field army (as opposed to just manning the Torres Vedras lines) and what there uniform might have been.
3 ALLIED ARTILLERY AT WATERLOO
John Dalton
I would like to find out more about the allied artillery at Waterloo. Does anyone know the number, nationality and poundage of the guns fielded by the German & Dutch contingents?
4 THE YORK CHASSEURS
Mike Smith
I have come across a reference to a unit of emigres in British service called THE YORK CHASSEURS. What is known of their unit history and uniforms? I gather that the unit was in the West Indies in 1796.
