Flying Column Battle of the Monongahela (1755) - Conestoga Wagon
The new Monongahela marching sets for the 48th are shown (BM48- Sets 5 thru 11), as well as the new awesome Conestoga Wagon (BAL-12). The command set for BM-48 is very much needed as the "correct" regimental colors for the Flying Column belongs to the 48th, not the 44th. The fighting grenadiers of the 44th are on flank screening duty, so they are not needed here ......
Below is the map for the Advance Party that was prepared for Robert Orme's report to Lord Cumberland on the Battle of the Monongahela. Orme was an Aide-de-Camp to Braddock. Where possible, I tried to follow the map.
In for this thread, I removed about a half dozen or so figures are not really Monongahela figures - figures with the scaled down light infantry hats. But left a few unexpected figures that work well with the Monongahela including:
QB-05; Captain William Stone (47th Regiment of Foot) - Killed
QB-02b; Captain Matthew Floyer (40th Regiment of Foot) - Killed
QB-30; Captain John Conyngham (35th Regiment of Foot) - Wounded
Sadly, John's releases for the Monongahela are very much short on much needed officers. Stone and Floyer were dispatch couriers between the campaign being conducted in New York under William Johnson and General Braddock leading the expedition against Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Braddock allowed them to stay with the Flying Column. In letters by Ensign Matthew Leslie (48th Regiment of Foot), the Assistant Deputy Quartermaster General, the role of Conyngham in the battle is described in detail (Kopperman, Page 204). Conyngham was then wounded at the Siege of Fort William Henry and is thought to be the only individual wounded at both battles, assuming he was at the Monongahela.
JJClub-016B: The Engineer depicted in this handsome figure that is positioned near the head of the column is best identified as Patrick Mackellar (Wounded), but Adam Williamson was a very young Engineer (Wounded) with the Expedition and eventually reached the rank of Lieutenant General and Governor of Jamaica. Officer rankings were not conferred to Engineers until 1756.
The display is in two fish tanks, Aqueon, Size 33 Long: 48-1/4 inches long x 12-3/4 inches wide and 13-3/8 inches tall. Cheap foam board insulation on the bottom, and very easy to use and painted shelf lining material for the sky. Of course, we have Risorgimento Green as the ground cover color of choice.
