Reading up on the siege of Frontenac in 1758, the regulars Bradstreet had with him were Royal Artilery and Ogilvie's Independent Company. Does anyone have any info on Ogilvie's uniforms:
Facing colour?
Long/short coat?
Cocked/round hat? Pity Chartrand hasn't written up an Osprey for this, but old article here:

IIRC, the Independent Companies had green facings. Since they were garrison troops, probably cocked hats and long coats, but they may have made adjustments on campaign. |

Googling "Ogilivie's Compaany" hadn't turned up anything. Just tried "New York Independent Companies" and came across this image:

Up through WW1, more troops died of diseases than in battle, I'm guessing he's about to go! |

He's being yelled at by the sergeant for being dead? |

The sergeant's looking extra flush, perhaps he's just sucking the life force out of the private. |

The sergeant is teaching the Zombie squad what they should be doing. |

Cold with standing still so long? Hungover? |
