The 13th regiment was recruited in Estramadura province, and quartered in Lisbon.
It formed part of the 10th Portuguese brigade, along with the 5th Cazadores and, later, the 24th Line regiment. The brigade acted independently for much of the Peninsular War.
Belonging to the organizational Center Division, it had white piping on the collars, cuffs, turnbacks, and front of the jacket.
The later uniform had either a fringe to the shoulder straps or British style "wings", usually shown as green for the light company and piping colored for the grenadiers; the light companies had green plumes, while everyone else had white plumes on their shakos.
Photography assistant Miss Maddie. I usually take my pictures outside on an overcast day, using the cover of our hot tub for the (grey) surface!
Note the white lace decoration on the uniform of the Fifer. I know that many wargamers don't like their figures in firing positions, but I always like to have at least some of my Napoleonic infantry in same, so I was pleased that these figures from Brigade Games had firing options.
And with this unit, Project Portugal expansion is complete. Parade to follow at a date to be determined!
