EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Photo Library takes us back in time to the early 19th century, specifically to the Battle of Waterloo on June 18th, 1815. The engraving showcases a group of Prussian soldiers standing guard at a sentry box. Among them are Foot Artillery drivers belonging to the esteemed "2te Artillerie Brigade" and a Jager from the light infantry unit known as "2te Jager Abtheilung". These brave soldiers played an integral role in General von Zieten's Prussian I Corps during this historic battle. However, their involvement extended beyond Waterloo; they were also actively engaged on June 15th and fought valiantly at the Battle of Ligny on June 16th. The image captures both strength and vigilance as these Prussian soldiers stand tall with their horses nearby. Their uniforms reflect military precision while exuding an air of determination that was characteristic of those who fought during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these soldiers but also of the significant historical events they witnessed firsthand. This print serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment and sacrifice for their country.
