Title: The World Turned Upside Down - HM 35th Foot
Post by: carojon on 28 June 2025, 07:23:07 AM

As part of my efforts to develop my AWI collection over the foreseeable, I have added His Majesty's 35th Foot to the collection sporting their rather unique orange facings.

The 35th had a hard fighting record in North America from the massacre at Fort William Henry in 1757, the Siege of Louisbourg in 1758, the Plains of Abraham in 1759 where they routed the French Royal Roussillon Regiment, through to the New York Campaign in the AWI in 1776 and later withdrawal to garrison New York, before departing for the West Indies in 1778.

A well turned out unit - and a good use of the parts from the continental sprues.

Enjoyed reading your blog post on their history :)
