Many thanks to Hat for their excellent help. Any chance of those Landwehr guys? Schlact von Ligny 16th Juni 1815 Timeline 8.30PM Chasseurs and Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard have siezed the stone bridge by the watermill and are fighting towards the Bois du Loop. To the west of Ligny more units of the Guard are emerging from village as Prussian resistance collapses. 2nd Brigade De La Jeune Garde, Marechal-de-camp Guye supported by 7th Infantry Division, Lieutenant-general Baron Jean-Baptiste Girard are simultaneously advancing on Brye. Elements of the Prussian 6th Brigade, Generalmajor Karl August von Kraftare are fighting a spirited rearguard action at the Ferme du Moulin in order to prevent the remains of the Prussian defence being outflanked. The thunderstorm has moved on and the light returns for the final act. Only nightfall can save the Prussians from total defeat but Blucher is undeterred. Vowats, Angriff, fur der Vaterland miene kinder!

Once again, excellent pictures that take us right into the action.
I love that first interior shot and the close up on the bridge. Your Guard Grenadiers look magnificent. And that exploding limber is just simply brilliant.

yes great pictures once again nearly missed this as there has been so few postings on the forum recently. I can only echo Graeme in the praise of the room inside the building & the explosion in the last picture, stand out moments in a truly great posting.
