Your talking about the Cumberland Hussars. http://web2.airmail.net/napoleon/Waterloo_Cowards.html
They were a regiment of Hanoverians who were seen leaving the battlefield early on and when an Aide sent by Wellington asked their colonel why he said that his men were all volunteers who had paid for their own uniforms and horses and that he had no confidence in them and was therefore taking them back to Brussels.
Greetings List,
A fellower lister kindly deciphered and translated an entry from a church record for me, and now I am trying to figure out what it all means.
"'Wachtmeister im Husarenregiment von Kumberland'"
Constable? Officer? Police? in the Hussar regiment from Kumberland?
I have looked through gazetteers from the time and connot find anything like "Kumberland". Is there a way to find out which Husarenregiment were from where?
Any help would be most appreciated.
