Drawn from authentic sources by the artist Charles James Lyall, one of the classic English uniform artists at the beginning of the 20th century, this volume contains a description of the 16 June 1815 Battle of Ligny that was fought at the same time as the Battle of Quatre Bras (see Volume 2 of the series). At Ligny, the Prussian forces met French units under the direct command Napoleon, who wanted to exploit the strategic advantage of the separation of the Prussians from Wellington's forces. Two maps from William Sibornes rare atlas facilitate understanding of the course of the Battle of Ligny. Like in the two previous volumes, the plates by the 19th-century artist Charles Lyall are critiqued based on current knowledge of the uniforms, equipment, and weapons. A detailed description of the Prussian forces' organization and uniforms supplements Lyall's illustrations.
