The Napoleonic British Light Dragoons with their General at their head can now be pre-ordered from Perry Miniatures.

I was interested that he was wearing full redcoat gear and not following the light cavalry tendency of wearing hussar regimentals when leading his brigade. |

Was he an ancestor or otherwise related to JOE or Giles Vandeleur of Market Garden fame? |

I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was. |

Definitely was an ancestor of Michael Caine…..sorry J.O.E.V….cannot remember quite what relation. Look forward to seeing Vandeleur released as part of another trio…..rumours of Somerset I do recall. Vivian in hussar rig maybee too? |

Pity. I don't need 42 light dragoons, but I covet the Vandeleur figure. |

Here is a link that explains the relationship between the two "John Ormsby" Vandeleurs (great-great-grandfather/son):- link There's a portrait here (scroll to about half-way down the page):- thepeerage.com/p5518.htm |

Hoping this fantastic Vandeleur figure, along with the very nice Hussey Vivian figure for the British Hussars pre-order, is made available as part of a British cavalry command pack. |

A Vivian figure? Pre Order…………? I missed him! Really? Somerset we were hinted at on this forum, but never saw a H Viv figure. Got any images? |
ponders nirvana.
