Very well done figures. The battalion in question was formed from the Camden survivors of the Maryland Division which also included the Delaware Regiment. Only two Delaware companies could be formed, one commanded by Captain Kirkwood (who left a Journal) and the other by Captain Jacquett. The two did not get along and Kirkwood was senior. When the Maryland companies were reorganized into the famous 1st Maryland Regiment, Jacquett's company was part of the regiment. A new 2d Maryland Regiment was also formed from recruits and didn't do too well at Guilford Courthouse, where the 1st Maryland distinguished itself. At Guilford, Kirkwood's Maryland company was brigaded with William Washington's cavalry and a rifle company. The Maryland and Delaware Continentals were the elite of the Southern Army. |
