Good Morning everyone from a hot and sticky Northern California. We received the July shipment last Friday, so for those that pre-ordered the goodies are on there way. Look out for the RSF-006 the Young Mohawk, this I think is the finest Indian figure John has made, and is magnificent.
Short and sweet we are for August releases, but some excellent ones. Again look out for the Mowhawk running and the new Club set.
As always hope you enjoy. I will have these on the web site this morning.
Best regards
Mike

THE JACOBITE REBELLION 1745
“Poor Barrell’s Regiment were sorely pressed by those desperadoes and outflanked.
One stand of their colours were temporarily taken. Colonel Riches hand cut off in their defence… “
Captain-Lieutenant James Ashe Lee of Wolfes’ 8th Foot.
The Regiment or Colonel’s Colour for the 4th Regiment of Foot was unique as it had a gold crown and scepters on a blue ground, with no union in the upper canton.
It was in 1747 that new regulations were introduced to standardize these colours.

THE FIRST SUDAN WAR 1884-1885
The red coat had been symbolic of the British Army for nearly two centuries. However the red wool serge was unsuitable for the Sudanese climate. Therefore a Grey or Khaki drill was issued.
There was an argument for the retention of the red coat in the Sudan, that it would “Impress the natives”. However the Sudanese knew who they were fighting, and only their tactics, not their morale changed.
Those staff officers who insisted on wearing red coats, soon found themselves favoured targets for the Mahdist snipers.

Captain Henry Pringle was one of two volunteer officers from the 27th Regiment of foot, who accompanied the Rangers on the snowshoes scout. He was to survive the battle and his journals provide a vivid account of his retreat and capture.
In the general confusion of the retreat Captain Pringle was left behind, he managed to avoid capture but became lost for six days in the wilderness, before surrendering to the French at Fort Carillon.
Pringle was later to reach the rank of Major-General in the British army.
Ensign Andrew Ross, was a Scottish volunteer from the 42nd Black Watch Regiment. He had been recommended to Rogers in January 10th 1758 for the rank of Ensign in a new company of Rangers, which was commanded by William Stark.

He was to die during the battle on Snowshoes.
