The Brunswick-Oels Jaëgers landed in Lisbon in October of 1810. The regiment comprised twelve companies and a regimental headquarters. Three companies were sharpshooters companies, armed with the Baker rifle. These companies were detached to serve with the British 4th and 5th divisions - one company served with the 3rd battalion of the 1st Regiment of Foot (Royal Scots), the others were with Crauford's Light Division. They served in the Peninsula in many battles and actions as crack skirmishers, such as the famous 95th Rifles and the KGL Sharpshooters.
The uniform was slightly different from the other companies of the Brunswick-Oels. This is the first time that these special troops have been sculpted in 28mm, and they are the first in our Rifles series, that will include units that used this weapon in the Napoleonic Wars.
