After 3 days, the BoM collection was moved out of the basement. A couple of days ago, Mike asked me about about the british K&C camp follower (Napoleonic War) working with BoM. I think it works just fine. The K&C french camp follower doesn't work because she is wearing a soldier's tall period hat.
At BoM, there were a number of "visiting officers" (actually 2). Two of JJD PoA figures that you see are from those 2 regiments, so their presence in the column is accurate (White cuffs and green cuffs). You can't see the 28th officer's pants in the photo, so we will pretend he is the 44th, but as he has yellow facings it works. Plus in some of the early officer numbered BoM releases (BM-03), the officers are wearing red pants.

From the above link, see Captain Stone (Lascelles) and Captain Haver on the List of Volunteers (After the Naval Officers)that were actually at BoM. One was killed, the other wounded. At Quebec, the only British regiment that had green facings was the 45th ---- so the logical conclusion is the QB-02b figure with the musket must be of an officer of the 45th regiment (Warburton's Regiment).
