AWI070-AWI081 British 38th Regiment of Foot Light Company (2 Viewers)

[FirstLegion]

First Legion is pleased to present our rendition of the Light Company of the 38th Regiment of Foot of the American Revolution. The 38th Regiment landed in Boston in 1774 and took part in the battles at Lexington/Concord, Bunker Hill, Long Island, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth Court house among others so this is one of the storied regiments of the war. The elite companies also took part in Yorktown where they surrendered with Cornwallis. We have depicted them in their role of skirmishing in a mix of moving and fighting poses and we hope you agree, these figures are by far the finest figures we’ve done for our American Revolution product range. With fantastic sculpting and striking hand painting First Legion stands alone when it comes to the finest quality figures for the American Revolution.

Beautiful Matt!

However, I am not sure if these can be used in a Lexington/Concord diorama since the troops were ordered to remove their knapsacks before the march since there was no plan for them to have to camp that night.

Absolutely fantastic sculpts and painting. Well done FL! :salute::

You know that fact, I "think" I knew that, but I would doubt that 95% of the folks who view these figures would have a clue. However, the number of engagements the 38th were involved in make them a great addition to the AWI series Lexington / Concord or not.

Possibly and expensive summer.{sm2}

How does people know these things.What I mean is I'm sure from reading books on the subject and I'm sure historians would research it but was somebody there who actually said this and why?If I was there I don't think I would write that down.

If I were you, I'd ask your boss at MMTS for a raise so you can afford these figures..............and when he's done laughing, you can go to plan B.........:tongue:

Evening Mark,
Although many people may think I am that old I was not around to see what the "Regulars" did on that long march.

I can't speak to WWII or actually much past the REV WAR or 1812, but yes there was a lot of "note taking" and oral and written recorded history.

I have a good many books that are really a researcher's attempt at combining many first hand accounts. For example the Battle of Bunker Hill was view by hundreds (if not thousands) of on-lookers who detailed to a high degree many events. Same with the Battle at Lexington and Concord. A good example for this can be found in the book .. "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer.

The Appendices in this book start at page 297 and go to 425. They show actual letters and 1770's era documents that are very detailed. The "Notes to Pages" show links and more to a high degree of information. I believe, right up to the beginning Civil War it could almost be called a spectators event!

Both the British and the Colonist get very detailed accounts of everything that happened. Now sometimes there are conflicting reports as people can both look at the same scene and see different things but it that case it seems the authors or researchers stock of the person telling the story, the number of people who record the same fact and more.

Still, it would be real nice it they had a Video Recorder in 1770. For example no one really knows who fired the first shot at Lexington / Concord. Still a "good guess" can be garnered from all the reports.

If nothing else, it makes darn good sense to me that you wouldn't want/need the packs if you knew you would be returning to the same point you started off before night fall...well done that officer that ordered such!
