Unlike the other Grenadiers in the Hessian army of this time, the Von Rall regiment was composed solely of Grenadiers.
Its origins date back to 1703. The jacket had ponceau (bright red) cuffs and collar, but no lapels.
The buttons and metal on the miters were brass.
The cloith backing of the miter was dark blue with white stripes; the rea band on the miter was red piped white, rather than metal colored as in most other Grenadier miters.
These are Brigade Games figures with a flag from Flags of War; as a regiment, it had its own flags and design
The Regiment fought at the battles of Long Island, White Plains, Fort Washington, and Trenton. Subsequent actions were Brandywine, Monmouth, Savannah, Stone Ferry, and the Siege of Savannah.





Very smart Peter. Your Hessian collection really has grown substantially.
