Spanish Colonial Forces in South America in the 1820s
« on: 11 March 2025, 09:12:15 AM »
Hello!
I am looking for some pictures shoing the Colonial Uniform of Spanish troops in South America in the 1820s.

Any sources?

Thanks!

John Fletcher is the man to ask:

Author of three booklets on the Wars of Liberation and an Osprey history.

There's also a faceplant group if you like that sort of thing......

The books he did for liberator were great! But I don't think you can get them anymore.

Parkfield Miniatures still stock the Liberator books. I saw some on their stand at Cavalier three weeks ago.

Caliver Books seem able to obtain copies. Only just got the one on British and Irish a couple of months ago.

I wasn't aware that Fletcher wrote three books for Liberator. I've only seen two but one does indicate a third!  The Parkfield Miniatures website still lists one of them but the other is showing "out of stock".  I can also attest to the quality of the "Spanish Ospreys" I was in Marbella last week and saw their book on the Spanish forces in Texas and it was beautifully produced, with colour plates as good if not better than anything Osprey currently churns out. In hindsight I should have bought it and relied on Google Translate to do some heavy lifting.

Good luck with your search.
