I Corps
William, Prince of Orange

The 3rd Netherlands Infantry Division
Lt-Gen. Baron David-Hendrik Chassé

This was a mixed Dutch-Belgian formation with the Dutch units predominating (9 out of 12 battalions).
There were initially some doubts as to the quality and commitment of these troopsas it was an inexperienced formation with 50% of its units being militia.
When it was called upon to fight late on in the battle, the 1st Brigade performed satisfactorily.
Because of the uncertainty about its quality, this division was posted on the extreme west of the Allied line around the village of Braine l'Alleud. It remained in reserve for much of the day.
In the evening the division moved behind the right centre of the line and was committed to the action to repulse the final Imperial Guard attack. The 1st Brigade charged the Grenadiers of the Middle Guard.

Losses 743 (10%)
