The report provides a highly detailed description of the part played by the Nassau troops, and in particuar the 2nd Nassau Regiment. In his report, circa January 1836, Johann Sattler recalled the movements of the brigade on the evening of the 15th June upon its arrival at the field of Les Quatre Bras: ‘At the advance of the 1st Battalion to the place of assembly I detached two companies on the Hautain-le-Val side of the wood, which was situated between the roads from Nivelles and Frasnes, in order to occupy its extreme point towards the aforementioned village, and to maintain communication with the 2nd Battalion. The remainder of the 1st Battalion arrived at the meeting point at six o’clock in the evening, where the 3rd Battalion was already assembled. The regiment of Orange-Nassau also arrived, and therefore the 2nd Brigade was fully assembled.’ The entire contents of this file are also available in Nassau Correspondence #1.
