What wonderful uniform. 71st cap on a Rifles outfit…..very striking. I thought that covered cap was unique to "HLI" |

2nd Glengarry were raised from ex Scottish veterans apparently, and trained to fight with Light Infantry tactics. The intention had been to dress them in full Highland regalia, but I guess someone had the sense to see how impractical that would've been. This makes the melange of uniform all the more reasonable I think, Canada was a long way from the formalities of Great Britain… |

Nicely done figures but I think you may be confusing The Glengarry Light Infantry with Glengarry Militia. The plate above depicts Upper Canadian Militia. Do look good though! |

The 2nd Glengarry had two flank companies,so you could skirmish with them nonetheless! (Soldiers of the King: The Upper Canadian Militia 1812-1815, William Gray,1995) Rick |
