The 71st Regiment of Foot (Frasier's Highlanders)
« on: September 13, 2021, 09:44:08 PM »


After the outbreak of the American War of Independence in 1775, Simon Fraser, Master of Lovat, was authorized to raise the 71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot. With companies mustered in Inverness and Stirling, two battalions were formed and in April 1776 the 71st Highlanders, known informally as ‘Frasier’s Highlanders’, sailed from Glasgow as part of the reinforcement of British forces in America.

Right nice they are.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Nice job!!

Naturally, I prefer the Kings Mountain Miniatures Highlanders, as they have 30 different pose including mounted Officers. They also have action poses like firing and loading.
