What Napoleonic Regiment Is This?

[Keyser]

Why are they serving the British then?

2:30 here

Because the spanish and the british were allied agaisnt napoléon maybe ?

[Dain]

And if you watched the damn episode with your ears open you'll know that

Spanish King lends them to the British as a gift.
Wellington doesn't want such a useless band of soldiers. They're a royal bodyguard, never done a bit of real soldiering in their life.
He decides to station them near the French line so those that can desert find it easy to do so.
He also decides to give them a drillmaster who he knows will not get along with their colonel.
He orders Sharpe and his new command into the mountains to either do their job and deal with the French and French loyal partisans in the mountains or die and get out of his hair.

they are a foreign infantry regiment (irlanda) in the Spanish army.

[Frost, colonel]

Alright man, christ. If anything this topic did well in itself, I learned much more about Irish regiments in Spain and their use in this war. No need to get y. Unless its your time of the month in which I apologise.

KGL?

[♔DoomBunny666♔]

KGL= Kings German Legion, and if that screen that Lusted said is a KGL light company is what he says it is its another thing for modders, they should look like this:

I don't know much about this era in history but if they look like the KGL...why are they in the Spanish army? Are we even sure if this company ever existed? or if it is just based on companies like it that didn't look exactly the same as the one portrayed in this series.

we are sure that it existed, composed of germans volunteers in the british army(when german states were occupied by the french) , they fight for example in peninsula war or at waterloo.

[RO Citizen]

Yep, a kinda continuation of the Hessian troops from the Us Indep War, but the KGL were better trained.

[♔DoomBunny666♔]

Apart from Hessian troops were as almost as well trained as Prussians...

The KGL however were some of the best German units of the war, along with the Black Brunswickers, and some others who fought for the French...

Especially at La Haye Sante, the KGL put up a good fight...

[EireEmerald]

Well these Germans put on very convincing Galway accents in the Sharp series.

I jsut watched the whole episode and its ing brilliant.

[panzerschreck]

No, in the sharpe series it's an other british regiment, the 95th rifle, not germans.

Okay, now its making sense.


I saw the rest of that episode and it is very good.
