Hesse-Kassel as a belligerent

[edit]

Are we certain it is correct to list the state of Hesse-Kassel as a belligerent in this battle? The Hessian soldiers were from Hesse, yes, but they were not serving under the command or authority of the government of Hesse-Kassel. They were mercenaries hired by the British - part of the British armies and under British command and authority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.174.163.104 (talk) 03:27, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; Hesse Kassel as a government was not a belligerent in the usual political sense. They were serving under the authority of the British Crown, as you say. Could we go further and state the Hesse flag is incorrect for any Hessian leaders too? An example would be the Marquis de Lafayette; a Frenchman who served under the authority of the Americans.
