Italeri have labelled these figures as for 1815, and those in the first two rows certainly have the correct look, with the 1812 pattern shako (later called the waterlooor belgic shako)……
First, all have a badge on their cartridge box, which reveals that they are Foot Guards as they alone had this device. Unfortunately the badge is too small to be clearly seen, but another clue as to identity is that all the men wear their trousers tucked into short gaiters. This feature was unique to the 1st Foot Guards, so we can be sure that this is the regiment depicted. We can even go further still, as the men have wings on their shoulders rather than straps, making them either Light Company or Grenadiers.
……
The bottom row holds some particularly interesting figures. Their most obvious characteristic is the old 1806 pattern shako, as the rest of their uniform and kit is entirely standard for Waterloo. The shako bears an unusual badge, and a much smaller badge at the rear. Such devices were unique to the 28th (North Gloucestershire) regiment at Waterloo, having been awarded for service in Egypt. This regiment distinguished itself both at Quatre Bras and at Waterloo, and was mentioned in despatches by Wellington. |
