IV/13d Medieval German 1479-1519AD

Here's the last Army for the Medieval German list. More heavier on the Pike formations but still great offensive punch with lots of Knights. They are finished off with Black Miracle Dip to give them a more sinister appearance....

IV/84 Burgundian Ordonnance 1471-1477AD

Rahoo!!! Loads of Flags! The very bright & colourful Burgundian Ordonnance. Lots of Knights & Bows, but with an option to drop the Bows for Pike. They have always performed well in our battles. The flags are from two sources, commercially available REVO Flagsheets & the fantastic DMWS Free Flags http://www.krigsspil.dk/download/download_2.html. Since we've made this army, the nice fellas have added even more Burgundian Flags....

The Green Howards Museum

A visit to Richmond Castle is not complete without checking out the Green Howards Museum! The Regiment is the local one for our town Middlesbrough & area, North Yorkshire, it has a very proud tradition.


Jack checks out the various displays, the medal room is brilliant!


History
The regiment was formed in 1688 from independent
companiesof infantry in Devon. Until 1751 it was known by the names of its various colonels, when it became the 19th Regiment of Foot. In 1782 all regiments of foot without a special designation were given county title "to cultivate a connection with the County which might at all times be useful towards recruiting".[1]The regiment became the 19th (1st North Riding of Yorkshire) Regiment of Foot, and its main recruiting efforts continued in this area until 2006, particularly in Middlesbrough, Redcar, Northallertonand Scarborough.

The Green Howards served in many Wars, particular interest to us at the moment is the AWI & the SUDAN! For our upcoming Victorian British Sudan Army, we've included the Green Howards. Last pic, Jenny & Amy try out the uniforms... Attention!!
