54MASS-03 – Drummer, 54th Regiment Massachusetts
Military drummers performed a practical role within Civil War armies, using drum calls to communicate orders and regulate daily military life. On campaign, their distinctive signals could help convey instructions that might otherwise be difficult to hear.
54MASS-03 – Drummer, 54th Regiment Massachusetts represents one of these musicians serving with the famous 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.
The drummer provides a welcome visual contrast to the regiment’s armed infantry and makes an excellent addition to a command or marching scene. Combined with the officers and standard bearers, he helps portray the broader organisation of the regiment beyond its fighting troops.
Available from The Military Workshop – a characterful John Jenkins figure representing the musical and signalling traditions of the historic 54th Massachusetts.
Brand: John Jenkins
