ReplyDeleteHighland Light Infantry..... If i remember correctly it was the first battle of Big Dog Duke of Wellington as army commander sometime in the very early 1800s,not sure on exact date,but would guess early winter 1802,pls dont quote me on that,but i WONT be far off the mark thats 4sure,very hard unit seeing as how they were out flanked and witted,but typical to are Scottish units ,even to this day lol,they pushed forward to victory,we wont mention the the 19th coming saving there ass right!!! hahahaha,so i would value this particular single card at 15 pound its historical value rests in the hands of the fact it was the Duke of Wellington,this is just my point of view and nothing else,very nice postcard drawings,these belong in the war museum,THANKS 4 SHARING.
