Black Brunswickers

The Brunswicker Ducal Corps, in (ドイツ語:Herzoglich Braunschweigisches Korps), commonly known as the Black Brunswickers in English and the ''Schwarze Schar'' ("Black Troop", also translated as "Black Horde" or "Black Host") or ''Schwarze Legion'' ("Black Legion") in German were a military unit in the Napoleonic Wars. The corps was raised from volunteers by German-born Frederick William, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1771–1815) . The Duke was a harsh opponent of Napoleon Bonaparte's occupation of his native Germany.〔 Formed in 1809 when war broke out between the First French Empire and the Austrian Empire, the corps initially comprised a mixed force, around 2,300 strong, of infantry, cavalry and later supporting artillery.
Most units of the corps wore black uniforms, leading to the "black" nicknames of the unit, though some light units (such as sharpshooters and uhlans) wore green uniforms. The Brunswickers wore a silvered skull badge on their hats. Their title originated from Duke Frederick William, who claimed the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which the French had abolished in order to incorporate its lands into the French satellite Kingdom of Westphalia. The Black Brunswickers earned themselves a fearsome reputation over the following decade, taking part in several significant battles including the pre-Waterloo engagement at Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815, where the Duke lost his life. However, recruiting, the replacement of casualties, and finance had always been problematic, and the corps was disbanded in the early 1820s.
The exploits of the Brunswickers caught the British Victorian public imagination: an example of this can be found in John Everett Millais's painting ''The Black Brunswicker''. Completed in 1860, the painting depicts a Brunswicker in his black uniform bidding goodbye to an unnamed woman.
