This regiment traces its origins back to 1687.
It fought at the Battles of Long Island, Fort Washington, Brandywine Germantown, Monmouth Courthouse, Connecticut Farms, and Springfield.
The regimental flag is by Flags of War in the UK.
The regiment had paille (off white) collars, cuffs, lapels, waistcoats, and breeches.
These are Perry figures.
Drummers had yellow lace with a red stripe, and red and blue drum hoops.
Nice to see some Hessians, lovely work on them, they look super.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie! Plenty more to come...
DeleteLiking those
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt!
DeleteGreat animation and flag once more
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gary!
DeleteMore Hessians, cool unit. Von Donop is a very nice addition to your forces.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. Lots more Hessians (and eventually a few Braunschweig units) to come over time!
DeleteThese are very nice once again Peter. I have this regiment in my collection, using Front Rank figures. I hand painted the flag 25 years ago because I don't think there were many commercial options around at the time!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. I hand painted almost all of my flags back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's! Most of them have held up quite well. Printed ones are certainly easier and quicker, and stronger on the details!
DeleteGreat work Peter. Good to see some Hessians mustering out.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence. I probably have too many Hessian/German units planned at this point; may need to add a few more British and Patriots... but not until they are done!
DeleteGreat work, Peter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard!
