Good morning from a hot and sticky Northern California. Welcome to the new releases for July and do we have some whoppers for you.
The series that you would not let die is in full swing with each release being better than the last. Plus we return to Scotland for a full kilted release.
We have the long awaited continuation of the Gordon of Khartoum series, this time we visit Sudan, with Gordon Highlanders, would not like this tour of duty. We also visit one of my favorites especially as we have it set up in the store here; the Raid on St Francis, the Indian village is magnificent. Finally we visit the war of 1812.
Lots of outstanding releases for you to enjoy. Hope you do.
Should have them on the web site at sierratoysoldier.com, late this morning.
Hope you like them as much as I do.
Best regards

THE JACOBITE REBELLION 1745
Cameron Of Locheil’s Regiment, was reported to be at least 700 strong at the Battle of Culloden. There were reported to have been two colours present at the battle. The second flag depicts the Cameron arms on a green central panel. The rest of the banner is red, and probably refers to a 1689 reference by James Philip of Almerieclose, of the “Glendessary’s ruddy banner”.
The other flag was a simple red and yellow striped banner, represented by set JR-10

THE FIRST SUDAN WAR 1884-1885
The Gordon Highlanders were one of the British Army’s most celebrated regiments. It was the local regiment of the North East of Scotland, was first raised in 1794 by the Duke of Gordon, who was assisted by the Duchess of Gordon. It was said she offered a kiss as an incentive to join up.
Always known as the Gordon Highlanders, the Regiment was officially designated the 100th Regiment of Foot, becoming in 1798 the 92nd Regiment of Foot. The numbering with which it has since been associated.
The 1st Battalion of the Gordons was sent to Sudan, and was issued grey wool jackets, which were worn throughout the campaign.
This was the uniform worn by the Gordons at the Battles of El Teb, and Tamai in 1884. There were seven companies at Tamai, and they formed the left side and front corner of General Buller’s square. Their “machine-like” volleys of gun fire were one of the main reasons that the pressure was relieved on the second British square which had been broken by the Dervish onslaught.
At Kirbekan, 10th February 1885, only Captain Ian Hamilton’s D Company was present in the last desperate attempt to relieve Gen. Charles Gordon in Khartoum.
At the close of 1885 the regiment returned to Egypt for a rest and was then reassigned to duty at Malta.
