Nassauers
- 1st Battalion, 1st Line Infantry
- 2nd Battalion, 1st Line Infantry
Kruse's Nassauers - 1st Nassau Infantry - were actually on the ridge in Wellington's left center at Waterloo, not at Hougoumont, although a small Dutch Light infantry battalion was in the woods of Hougoumont throughout the daylong fight there.
The 2nd Nassau Infantry, under Prince Bernard of Saxe Weimer, was on the Allied far left at Waterloo, stationed in hamlets providing a crucial linking position for when the Prussians arrived to join Wellington in battle.
Awards
von Kruse's decorations included the Grand Cross with Diamonds of the Imperial Russian Order of St. Anne, the Legion of Honour, Nassau's silver Waterloo Medal, and the insignia of a Knight of the Royal Netherlands Military Willems-Order.
