"In autumn 1758 after the Ticonderoga debacle, general Jeffery Amherst formed and used light infantry units and continued to adapt the arms and equipment of the regulars to wilderness conditions. He ordered all regular battalion commanders: "To practise their men at firing at marks, whenever the weather permitted; to form a company of men from each regiment, and those to be the most active, with Proper Officers: These to be called the light infantry of the regiments they belonged to…" Nice hats!! From here link Hope you enjoy!. Amicalement Armand

NOT American Revolution… Bob also not LI in Amherst's campaign but in the kit described by Captain Knox regarding the Quebec expedition. Amherst issued different order stripping all his infantry down to shirt, waistcoat and kit carried in a blanket. The second plate looks like the one from the Osprey British LI volume and shows an interpretation of troops at the siege of Havanna?
