attached is the figure for this year sculpted as usual by Paul Hicks who keeps turning out absolutely fabulous figures.
This one is the Marquis de Séguirant, sieur de Bouc, colonel of the Maine regiment who died in the battle of Eeckeren in 1703.
The battle was part of the Marlburian campaign and the Dutch and their allies of German and Scottisch troops attacked the Frecnh near Antwerp at the village of Eeckeren. (where our clubhouse is situated at the very battlefield) He died in the battle and was buried in the chuchyard just in front of our former clubhouse. As this guy was floowing us around, it was time to make a figure of him. I think that those who don't do the period can still use him as a pirate or gouvernour type of the 18th century, I suppose.
