BATTLE LINES
“Every Soldier Tells A Story”
Introduction
Battle Lines' purpose is to enhance the enjoyment and knowledge of collectors of the current series (2006 to the present) of W. Britain Soldiers. When a collector purchases one of these soldiers they are provided with information such as the war that the figure represents, the date of service, the regiment or unit of that figure, and indication of rank. For example, the Redcoat at the far left of the illustration above is from the French & Indian War (1754-1763) and represents a British Grenadier of the 45th Regiment of Foot.
Battle Lines goes beyond that basic information to tell you more of that soldier’s “story”. This will be accomplished through a series of essays that examine each soldier in historical and cultural context. There will be information about the particular unit and battles that the soldier participated in and the uniform, weapons and equipment associated with him. Pictures of the soldier will be supplemented with additional images of historic relevance. It is our hope that after reading these articles you will come away with a greater appreciation and understanding of the W. Britain soldiers that you are collecting.
