Thanks

I think they are supposed to be the 10th Royal Lincolnshire Regiment who fought at Trenton and Bunker Hill. I have 3 figures including the drumme, officer and the regimental flag and none have definitive markings.

The 10th Lincolnshire Regiment had yellow facings on their jacket. IMO the British Regulars (BR038 and the rest of that range) are not meant to represent a specific British regiment, they were designed as generic redcoats.

I would second what Mike said. I don't think the BR038 and the other figures in the 'Redcoats and Redmen' release were supposed to by any particular regiment.

On their backpacks there is a small symbol reading "GR: "Georgius Rex" or "King George" so my first guess was that they may represent one of the Foot Guard regiments; however, the regimental flag is based on a design closer to a Royal Navy ensign rather than any real flag carried by a British Regiment.

Best Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Its a shame they are 'generic redcoats'

I was told by Andy that they were to represent the 10th Royal Lincolnshire Regiment and the same is in some advertising. But they have none of the markings the 10th would have had. http://www.sierratoysoldier.com/king-country-toy-soldiers.asp

Hi Terry,

King & Country did a very nice release of 10th Lincolnshire a few years back. Perhaps Andy was referencing them.
