Just got this figure yesterday and had to play with it. It's December 1775 (see below) and he's not a happy camper about the breakup of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment.

"The regiment was in Ireland during the majority of the Seven Years War and was ordered to America on 1 January 1767. The regiment arrived at Philadelphia on 11 July 1767 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel John Wilkins. The majority of the regiment under Wilkins was ordered to Illinois in early 1768 and remained in Illinois until April 1772 when Fort Chartres was abandoned. A small detachment under Captain Hugh Lord, remained at Ft. Gage, Illinois until May 1776 when it was ordered to Detroit in anticipation of an American attack. The rest of the regiment was present in Boston, where the grenadier company participated in the Battle of Lexington and Battle of Concord and Bunker Hill, its first formal combat in more than 50 years. The regiment was drafted into other regiments in Boston in December 1775 and at Detroit in July 1776."

Another great picture - almost makes me want to shiver. I'm afraid too soon it will look like this in Wisconsin. We had a light frost this morning - seems way too early for the Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr season.
