BATTLE OF THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM

A new unit for the Battle of The Plains Of Abraham, and many thanks to Edward in Canada for continually asking me to produce the Louisbourg Grenadiers!
The Louisbourg Grenadiers was a temporary unit of grenadiers formed by General James Wolfe in 1759 to serve with British Army forces in the Quebec campaign of the Seven Years' War.
Grenadiers from the 22nd, 40th, and 45th regiments were brought together by Wolfe at the Fortress of Louisbourg in Nova Scotia in preparation for action along the St. Lawrence River. The unit was involved in numerous battles during the months-long prelude to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, including the ill-fated Battle of Beauport on July 31, 1759.
After Quebec City's capture, the Grenadiers went on to be involved in the fall of Montreal the next year. After the end of the Seven Years' War, the unit was disbanded and its members returned to their original regiments.

THE JACOBITE REBELLION 1745

Barrell’s Regiment , the 4th Regiment of Foot, were to bear the brunt of the Jacobite attack on Cumberland’s left flank at Culloden.
Sergeants in all regiments wore plain white lace, and wore a crimson sash around the waist, with a thin stripe of the facing colour.
The halberd was one of the polearms sometimes carried by lower-ranking officers in European infantry units in the 16th through 18th centuries. In the British army, sergeants continued to carry halberds until 1793, when they were replaced by pikes with cross bars.
The 18th century halberd had, however, become simply a symbol of rank with no sharpened edge and insufficient strength to be used as a weapon. It was used however to ensure that infantrymen drawn up in ranks stood correctly aligned with each other.

Thanks for the French Officer to lead his troops in Spain.

PFL-02A FRENCH LINE INFANTRY 1807, 66th Line, 4th Company, Company Officer, (1pc)

This makes a fine set, especially with the recent 3 figures with 'muskets at the ready' as if expecting an ambush by Spanish Guerrillas.

Maybe we can expect a drummer boy sometime soon to keep these guys 'in step' ? Hope so,

John
 
I'm in on the 4th Ft. NCO and I really like the Louisbourg Grenadiers. The green facings are sharp. -- Al
 
Two great releases for Culloden collectors. First of course is that great figure of the center company NCO, AND second.... QB-30 Brit. Officer, Plains of Abraham. With a little repainting, he will fit in quite nicely behind the line of Barrell's 4th. Thanks John, for continuing to add on to your wonderful Jacobite Rebellion series. -Much appreciated by this collector.
 
I like the Indian sets...I think these Stockbridge Indians will work as Abenaki's chasing Roger's Rangers through the forest after their attack on St. Francis...
 
I really like those Louisbourg Grenadiers. Very snazzy appeal.
 
The highlight for me is the 35th officer. I am hoping that he will work with my BoM display shelves which sorely lack regular officers which means multiple copies of that figure.

The Louisbourg Grenadiers = the grenadier companies from the 22nd, 40th and 45th regiments. Wolfe left the bulk on these regiments to garrison Louisbourg on Nova Scotia, but stripped away their grenadiers companies and utilized them further during the Siege of Quebec. So two more regiments releases to go.

This is not the first 45th figure by John, the death of Wolfe figure sets include an officer from the 45th. This 45th officer is also historically correct for the Battle of the Monongahela.

Barrells figure looks to be an excellent sculpture

Stockbridge Indians = British Allies and Scouts, so add them to your column from the 35th (Mahican/Mohican).

Yes, and if you're talking about the entire Jacobite Rebellion series, then we are also missing EEC2, EEC3 & EEC4 of the Royal Ecossois Rgmt.
Fingers crossed that JJ gets around to filling those numbers.

Hello John, thanks for producing the Louisbourg Grenadiers, they look great. The Green Facings really stand out.
