This regiment was first raised in the winter of 1776, and served until 1782.
We're not sure if more than one company wore the light blue uniform with red facings, but in my army they do!
'
These were "State" line troops, not Continentals or militia.
These are Brigade Games figures.
The flag is printed from internet sources; the original was captured by the British when they took backl control of Fort Ticonderoga in 1777.
Aside from "NH, 2nd Regt" on the shield", the scroll reads "The Glory not the Prey".
That's a different looking uniform, maybe I will copy you Peter!
ReplyDeleteA bit reminiscent of 7 Years War Bavarians, eh?
DeleteYes, I wish I had done a unit of these. Very eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. I couldn't resist this unit, and the fact that it took part in the Saratoga campaign was a plus as well.
DeleteAnother lovely addition to your project and the uniform is a cracker!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie!
DeleteBeautiful blue! Good lookin!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Another factor in doing this unit was that I am being a bit like the Continental Congress, spreading the units I do across the 13 states, and I needed one from New Hampshire! The fact that it also had a known flag was an additional plus!
