Historical Context
The King's German Legion (KGL) Hussars were German troops serving in British forces, exiles from Hanover who fought against Napoleon's occupation. KGL cavalry combined Prussian training with British discipline, earning a reputation as elite light cavalry. Their elaborate hussar uniforms, complete with pelisses and braiding, reflected the continental cavalry tradition. KGL hussars excelled at reconnaissance and skirmishing, often operating independently. At 1:40 scale, this regiment represents approximately 480 men - a fully deployed regiment or division of the regiment, representing the foreign troops who formed a vital component of Wellington's cosmopolitan army.
