Researching the National Guard of the #Batavian Republic is a lot of fun. This is a relatively unknown painting of a unknown officer around #1799 in his workroom. From an auction, kindly provided by the auctioneer.

Lot s of nice details like the silver (?) buttons and sash.
Zeer benieuwd! Waar ga je beginnen?
Canals! Dikes! Peat! Sugarbeets! Just like where I live in the NL!
Valt wel mee toch? Ronald de Graaf en Olaf van Nimwegen doen het best goed denk ik.

This goes for a lot of armies. I am not a competition wargamer and I just buy and paint armies I like, so some medieval Low Countries, or ancient near East. I know the dba lists are sometimes a bit of a joke, given the research that is available now.
From the article in the Medieval Warfare magazine.
You are right, I forgot Italian and Dutch.
Well, let’s face it, it is quite a British hobby :-)

But Early Medieval Europe deserves a lot more attention and Britain was of course linked to Europe in a lot of ways.
There’s a shitload on Charlemagne’s Armies in French and German. And also in English.

Eerst maar eens een linkse volkstribuun
Wenn du grenznah lebst wie ich, ist es ziemlich leicht zu verstehen, die Grammatik neigt sich doch nach dem Deutsch. Ostfriesisch Platt ist leichter zu verstehen.
