I was asking on a much earlier thread for suggestions for British infantry in the '98. One suggestion was to get the Old Glory bag from the "Napoleon in Infantry" range, the Perthshire Volunteers. Here is waht they look like as named:
What would be facings colors, if used as Crown forces in the '98? Can these be used in the War of 1812? Again, what facings colors? I have them based singly, and primed. I am working on the red coats right now. (well, not s I type, but am taking a break. ) I am working on two projects right now that have small units of individually based figures. Guess what they are! (Hint: clues may be found in this post.) |

Sorry to say no British or Canadian infantry wore Tarletons in the War of 1812. |

I have the Old Glory Perthshire Volunteers and got them to use as a militia unit in my Brit/Canadian army of 1812. I am not too fussed that there were no infantry units wearing tarletons because I just invented one because I liked the figures and wanted to paint them up. Nice models. link |

I converted some RHA into infantry on an article I read on troops in either the Greek War of Indepenence or maybe earlier. I can't find my source. --------------------------------------------- French fusileers in the Revolutionary Wars. --------------------------------------------- Some examples in War of 1812 (browse the site and you'll probably find more. I only found cavalry and dragoons but the dragoons probably fought on foot (alas, just because a militia are called dragoons doesn't mean they know anything about military tactics) -------------------------------------------- Georgia Militia Dragoons War of 1812 link ------------------------------------------- Mississippi Militia Dragoons War of 1812 link ------------------------------------------- North Carolina Militia Cavalry link |

The Spanish M1802 Light Infantry Uniform had tarletons. Some of the Light Infantry Regiments were still wearing this into 1809. A number of emigre units in British wore this until about 1800. Dismounted Portuguese or Spanish Cavalry wore the tarleton. Many of these were forced to fight on foot through lack of horses. These formed battalions. Stephen |

I've used some French from the Rev Period, in 10mm, in tarltons as Spanish |

Some of the Sicilian units under British command wore helmets. |
