Strelets 1:72 Dutch Cuirassiers 259

Although fought in many parts of Europe, some of the most famous actions of the War of the Spanish Succession took place in and around Flanders, where the French faced an allied army commanded by John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. The largest national contingent of this army was that of the Dutch, whose armed forces had gained much experience during the Nine Years War (1688-1697), and had established a good reputation. The Dutch cavalry played their usual role during these years, including reconnaissance and protection, but would also play a major part in several of the allied victories, notably at Ramillies (1706) and Oudenarde (1708).
