Featured battle : Tersain
Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Date : 08 September 1813

Border Reivers - examples of armour
Two examples of the types of armour and weapons as used by the Reivers - cross Anglo-Scottish border warriors - during the 16th century. The model on the left wears a simple back and breast armour with lower abdomen protection more common in pikemen of the late 16th and 17th century. He wears the distinctive 'combed morion' helmet. The model on the right wears the armour of the wealthy, full three quarters armour and an elaborate burgonet helm.

Waterloo Archive Volume IV: British Sources
Gareth Glover [Ed]
Another superb collection of original material not only from front line troops but also from reserve and support services. See review of Volume VI for an overview of the series.
