2nd Portuguese Line, "Lagos"

 

The second Line Regiment was recruited in Algarve province and quartered in Faro. 

The regiment formed part of the 2nd Portuguese brigade, along with the 14th Line regiment. 

The regiment belonged to the organizational Southern Division, and thus had red piping on the shoulders, turnbacks, collars, cuffs, and the front seam of the single breasted jacket. 

The second regiments distinctions otherwise were dark blue collar and white cuffs. 

The wonderfully colorful flag is by Adolfo Ramos once again.  The figures are by Brigade Games.

The drummer in the back rank has red and blue lace decorations on his uniform; the drum is dark blue with red rims.

    1. Thank you, Mark. His products are very reasonably priced and not over-sized (and they come in multiple sizes anyway).
