The Liberation Army of the Andes

From Tradition Number 60

Tradition Number 60: French 16th Light Infantry 1812

Airfix Magazine August 1977 Neapolitan Cavalry 1808-13

Tradition number Forty Four

Many years ago, 31 to be precise..I attended a Wargames Convention in  Adelaide..put on by Mal Wright and his chums..and there, for something of a song I bought a stack of second hand Tradition magazines..being young and silly I pulled out many of the colour centre pages, thus ruining the magazine's  intrinsic value..however they are fascinating and as they are slowly reappearing I am enjoying the experience. Here are some scans form one that I found today .
firstly A nice look at Prussian hussars of the WAS.

And a fine colour print of the Madras Horse Artillery  1845

And finally some details of Austro-Hungarian Infantry 1809

A question of French cuirassier trumpeters

Inspired by Mick the Painters picsMick the Painter's first post   I have looked into the cuirassier trumpeter's  coat situation. i initially was intrigued by the blue coat.. searching aroundI did indeed a first cuirassier  shown in a sky blue coat. I think this is an example  the parade dress as it matches the coat of a non combatant member of the regimental band..so   All ok though it wouildn't have been my first choice of uniform ..here is the fruit of a mornings research..anything to avaoid the Persian 15s.\
