War of 1812

The Battle of Chippewa

The clash of infantry against infantry was the most important aspect of Napoleonic battles. The technological advances of the period had made the artillery the most powerful arm in battle.

The main part of the weapon was the gun, basically an elongated metal cylinder open at the muzzle end. A charge of powder and a projectile were loaded into the hollow centre or bore of the gun, and when the charge was ignited the resulting explosion propelled the projectile out the muzzle toward the target.

Guns were designated by the weight of the round shot they fired. The most common and useful gun in the War of 1812 was the 6-pdr. The 6pdr round shot had a fearsome effect. At 600-700 yards under optimum conditions, it could cut through nineteen men or seven feet of earth.

The Jacobite Rebellion 1745

“Poor Barrell’s Regiment were sorely pressed by those desperadoes and outflanked. One stand of their colours were temporarily taken. Colonel Riches hand cut off in their defence… “
Captain-Lieutenant James Ashe Lee of Wolfes’ 8^th Foot.

The Regiment or Colonel’s Colour for the 4^th Regiment of Foot was unique as it had a gold crown and scepters on a blue ground, with no union in the upper canton. It was in 1747 that new regulations were introduced to standardize these colours.

The First Sudan War 1884-1885

The red coat had been symbolic of the British Army for nearly two centuries. However the red wool serge was unsuitable for the Sudanese climate. Therefore a Grey or Khaki drill was issued. There was an argument for the retention of the red coat in the Sudan, that it would “Impress the natives”. However the Sudanese knew who they were fighting, and only their tactics, not their morale changed. Those staff officers who insisted on wearing red coats, soon found themselves favoured targets for the Mahdist snipers.

French & Indian War

Battle on the Monongahela

Finally after all the requests for new 44^th Regiment British Line Infantry, John Jenkins has decided
to re-visit the Monongahela collection.
There will be 6 new sets of British Line Infantry, released over the next 6 months as general releases.

Of the 1,300 men Braddock led into battle, 456 were killed outright and 422 were reported wounded. Commissioned officers were prime targets and suffered greatly: out of 86 officers, 26 were killed and 37 wounded. Of the 50 or so women that accompanied the British column as maid, cooks and necessary women only 4 returned with the British—with around half being taken as captives.

The French reported very few casualties.

The Raid on St. Francis

The Mohawks were the Easternmost tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy, and were referred to by the Great Council, as “The Keepers Of The Eastern Door”. The Mohawks were divided into three clans, Bear, Wolf, and Turtle. Mohawk means “Man Eater”, which was a name given to them by their enemies.
