Prushian/Polish Soldiers in the rain

A group of Napoleonic soldiers leaving the battlefield after a reenactment. I'm told that these are Polish or Prussian soldiers. Many of the people dress as Polish soldiers at this event were were REALLY Polish. Cool, huh.

In case you are wondering, that booming noise in the background is thunder. It was really raining hard, which is the price that you pay for doing anything in England (where the film was shot) as it often rains there.

Polish / Prussian soldiers ??

Not really. The green ones are either 95th rifles or KGL, the red ones are British infantry soldiers and behind that comes a French unit. The last ones looked like Dutch troops but I am not sure, the film stopped to quickly.

Of course it might be that the re-enactors come from Poland or Germany. After all, it is a very international hobby.

Don't ask me, I know very very little about this period of European history. I just read what it said on the program. Maybe the Polish/Prushian troops went off the other side of the arena?

Yes, there were many real Polish soldiers.

First came british redcoats with the union jack and then napoleons soldiers with the new colors of france (red,blue and white) the colors of the france revolution. So british and french troops. Must be a reconstruction of waterloo because i saw some running preussen soldiers aswell.
