Strelets 1:72 British Infantry Standing Shoulder Arms 202

In the days before Waterloo Wellington is supposed to have been asked in a Brussels park what he thought his chances were in the coming battle. Pointing to a British infantryman, he said “It all depends on that article there. Give me enough of it and I am sure”. To Wellington’s mind he did not have enough of it, at least not enough of the experienced veterans of the war in Spain. Those that he did have would be the backbone of his multi-national army, and would be positioned between less highly regarded units to stiffen resolve. In the event of course the Anglo-Allied and Prussian armies did prevail on June 18th 1815, after which Britain quickly reverted to a small army, which did not again set foot in anger on European soil for almost forty years.
