Hessian Fusilier Regiment Von Lossberg, American Revolutionary War

Gepost op 29 juni 2026 door JurjenB in Internetblog

The origins of this Regiment date back to 1683.

The uniform had orange lapels, cuffs, and turnbacks. The cloth backing on the Fusilier miters was black; somewhat curiously, the backing of the Grenadier miters of this regiment were orange.

The buttons and metal on the miters were brass.

These are Brigade Games figures with a flag by Flags of War.

The Regiment fought at Long Island, White Plains, and Fort Washington; the bulk of the Regiment was captured at Trenton, but contingents fought at Brandywine Creek and Monmouth Courthouse.

The regiment was renamed Alt Lossberg and became a Musketeer regiment in 1782.

British Light Infantry #2, American Revolutionary War

Gepost op 26 juni 2026 door JurjenB in Internetblog

As my British army grew, I realized that I needed at least one more unit of Light Infantry.

These are Brigade Games figures, with the soldiers drawn form each of 4 additional units of Regulars after the first.

Thus there is a mix of Buff, white, yellow, and dark blue facing colors in the unit.

The compulsory shoulder “wings” are of course present.

They also wear the somewhat peculiar “chain” caps.

Appearing soon at the Battle of Brandywine!

10th North Carolina Regiment, American Revolutionary War

Gepost op 23 juni 2026 door JurjenB in Internetblog

Having initially focused on the New England and mid Atlantic contingents of the American army, it’s time to move down South a bit.

This regiment was one of North Carolina’s contingent of Continental regiments.

It was noted to have blue coats faced with green in 1777 – 1778.

The flag they are carrying here is one of the many variations on the “Stars and Stripes” theme before designs became [somewhat] more standardized.

It is called the Guilford Courthouse flag, because it was known to have been carried by North Carolina militia at that battle in 1781

The drummer has to have the fashionable “Reversed Colors”, right?! The figures are Brigade Games “Southern Militia”, and the flag was created from images on the internet.

Hessian Fusilier Regiment Von Knyphaussen, American Revolutionary War

Gepost op 20 juni 2026 door JurjenB in Internetblog

The origins of this regiment date back to 1684.

The uniform coats had black collar, cuffs, and lapels.

The waistcoats, pants, and the backing of the Fusilier Miter were all paille.

The buttons and metal on the miters were brass. These are Brigade Games figures; flag by Adolfo Ramos.

The Regiment fought at the battles of Long Island, White Plains, and Fort Washington. Much of the Regiment was captures at Trenton, but contingents later fought at Brandywine and Monmouth.

It is estimated that roughly one third of the Hessian and other German troops sent to America opted to remain behind and settle here at the end of the Revolutionary War.

Here’s the second cadre of British Generals for the AWI.

To the left I think is F&D Knyphaussen painted as a British officer, then F&D Howe wearing Tricorne with a Colonel [may be even Washington painted as Brit!], and Cornwallis
