Hand's Rifleman

[kingsmt]

Coloel Edward Hand was an outstanding American Officer.
At the Battle of Assunpink Creek, General Washington ordered General Fermoy to delay the British advance toward Trenton. Hand was chosen to be second in command. With Hand were his Pennsylvania Riflemen.
Apparently Fermoy decided that he has enough of being a General and rode away, leaving Hand in command.
Hand fought a brilliant delaying action and bought enough time to save the day.

These are Hands Riflemen firing from behind trees, rocks and whatever cover they can find.
Although these appear to be finished, they are not.

The battle was fought after a fresh snowfall.
Since Hands men were in the woods the snow would have been undisturbed.

I'll put up a few more pix of these later.
I did include a few close ups, so that you can see the melting snow and ice.
