Having initially focused on the New England and mid Atlantic contingents of the American army, it's time to move down South a bit.
This regiment was one of North Carolina's contingent of Continental regiments.
It was noted to have blue coats faced with green in 1777 - 1778.
The flag they are carrying here is one of the many variations on the "Stars and Stripes" theme before designs became [somewhat] more standardized.
It is called the Guilford Courthouse flag, because it was known to have been carried by North Carolina militia at that battle in 1781
The drummer has to have the fashionable "Reversed Colors", right?! The figures are Brigade Games "Southern Militia", and the flag was created from images on the internet.
Very nice, great looking regiment, the uniform is a very nice one and the Brigade figures are rather good, I like them a lot.
