Tacambaro: The Belgians in Mexico, by Kevin Van Overmeire, pub. Miniature Wargames, October 1998, pp.11-15, an interesting article by, I believe, a Belgian which gives a little more light on the subject, it would appear that I do not have the second part of the article can anyone help out?

Wargames Illustrated, January & February issues 1999, nice articles on the Campaigns plus two coloured plates on the various uniforms, plates a bit basic but fine if you have not seen anything on the subject before, third part on wargaming the War, did not buy that issue not being a wargamer, also in the February issue is a page article on the Egyptian troops that were with the French in Mexico by Paul Jackson.
