This regiment was first raised in 1701; in 178 its colonel changed to GM Carl Ernst Johann von Bose, and it was thence known as Musketeer Regiment von Bose.
The regimental uniform had white collar, cuffs, lapels, waistcoats, and breeches.
Drummer's uniforms had yellow lace with a narrow red stripe, and the drum hoops were red and white with a narrow blue stripe.
The regimental flag is by Flags of War. I actually think I have accidentally reversed the flags between this unit and Musketeer regiment . Considering the small difference between white and paille, I don't think I will worry about it!
The regiment fought at the battles of Forts Clinton and Montgomery, Connecticut Farms, Springfield, Guilford Courthouse, Green Springs, and Yorktown.
These are Perry figures once again.
After the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, General Lord Cornwallis wrote the the regiment "deserves my warmest praises for its discipline, alacrity, and courage...".
Yes, this regiment has a re-enactor group.
Hmm, I may have to try adding that red line to the drummer's lace!

Lovely work, very nice addition, your project continues at a cracking pace!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie; still quite a few units to go to catch up on all the troops painted so fa, but much of the past several weeks was devoted to terrain and game planning for HAVOC (and minor flooding in the basement).
DeleteVery nice indeed
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gary!
DeleteA very smart unit Peter. Adding that red line to the lace looks like it would be quite fiddly and I think the drummer looks fine just as he is.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. If I ty it, it will be with the micro pen!
DeleteAnother fine-looking Hessian regiment Peter - I am halfway through my "homage" to your 2nd New Hampshire regiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith; I am enjoying doing the Hessians. That 2nd NH does look smart!
DeleteYou've done a really good job on those. The breeches and gaiters look really good - difficult to do. Love how you've done the bases.
ReplyDeleteThe breeches and gaiters is mostly just the Magic Wash doing it's magic! :-)
DeleteI use Scenic express "Alpine Meadow" blend, with
a bit of extra green blend fine flocking added to the composition.
DeleteFantastic addition. You really are a painting machine at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard. Yes, I've been in a painting frenzy since the beginning of September!
DeleteThese fellas look great, Peter! Impressive work from your brush. These Hessians are some of my favorite Perry sculpts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. I must admit that I am especially enjoying painting the Hessians!
DeleteAnd very nice they look too. Love the flag!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray!
DeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDeleteHow can I get in touch with you? Not sure if you're still reachable at the `aol.com` address - sent an email, without luck.
Thanks,
Manoj
