The 11th Light Dragoons saw action during the Peninsular war at Cuidad Rodrigo and Salamanca. Upon returning to Britain in 1813 they exchanged their Tarelton helmets for the newly issued Shako. At Waterloo the 11th formed part of Vandeleur’s brigade on the left of the Allied line and took part in the advance during the closing phase of the battle.
This troop of 6 figures is comprised of one-piece casting BN/50 Light Dragoon (mounted) charging, wearing bell top shako and French style blue coat with coloured facings. The figure is amongst the earliest in the Hinton Hunt British range but not one of the best in my opinion. Marcus went on to produce a further two Light Dragoon figures in the two-piece range, one in Tarleton and the other in Shako.I will be combining the Light Dragoons with my Brunswick Hussars to form a single 12 figure Allied light cavalry regiment for Vintage Waterloo.
