This box contains centre company men (or hat men) of a
typical British regiment for the war. The regiments flank companies were
normally detached to for combined light and grenadier battalions. They are
represented in cut-down coats for campaign and come with three hat variants; the
typical cocked hat, the un-cocked hat or board brimmed hat and the ‘Saratoga
cap’, cut down from the cocked hat. They can be assembled either at the charge

wooded countryside). The also wear the typical gaiter-trousers or American
trousers which became very popular in the war. The officers are in simple
undress coats favoured on campaign.
