Rui’s Renditions
A Lancer of the 2. Hannoversches Ulanen-Regt. Nr.14 in pre-WWI parade dress. Date unknown.
On his Tshapka, the Prussian line eagle has a bandeau with the words “PENINSULA WATERLOO GARZIA HERNANDEZ”.
This bandeau was awarded to the Regiment on the 24th of January 1899 by Kaiser Wilhelm II to commemorate the battles of their predecessors, the Hanoverian Guard Cuirassier Regiment, which, 85 years before, had fought against Napoleon as part of the King of England’s “German Legion”.
My gratitude goes, once again, to S. Wouters for allowing me to work with photos from his personal collection.
