AWI080

First Legion

First Legion's American Revolution collection now includes the Light Company of the 38th Regiment of Foot. The 38^th Regiment landed in Boston in 1774 and took part in the battles at Lexington/Concord, Bunker Hill, Long Island, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth Court House among others.
The elite companies also took part in Yorktown where they surrendered with Cornwallis.
This skirmishing soldier kneels to fire his musket, increasing accuracy while reducing the chance that he will be hit in return.
