10th Royal Veteran Battalion, 1812

This toy soldier represents a member of the 10th Royal Veteran Battalion, a unit formed in 1806, primarily composed of army pensioners and invalids. The battalion provided essential administrative and support roles, freeing more able-bodied soldiers for active combat. Highlighted here in his full regalia, the figure captures the unique uniform style of 1812, equipped with a flintlock musket, ready to defend. Notably, this battalion was actively engaged in the War of 1812, including significant actions such as the capture of Fort Mackinac and engagements at River Raisin and Fort Stephenson. This model is an homage to their strategic contributions to British military efforts in North America. Model: 10198 Scale: 1/30 Finish: Matte Includes: Single figure in box
