NA543 - 95th Rifles "Walking Wounded" | King & Country
For collectors building a Age of Napoleon display, 95th Rifles "Walking Wounded" introduces a focused character, action or detail from the period.
The wider setting is the Napoleonic Wars and the armies that fought them. Napoleonic battlefields depended on disciplined infantry, cavalry, standards and officers directing movement under pressure. Each formation had its own identity and role within the larger army.
The 95th Rifles were known for their dark green uniforms and skilled riflemen, equipped with the Baker rifle during the Peninsular War. This particular release highlights 95th Rifles "Walking Wounded" and provides a useful point of difference from conventional musket-armed infantry formations.
A casualty or rescue subject brings the human cost of conflict into view. It offers a contrast to attacking figures by showing what happens to the people caught in the fighting.
An engaging way to present it is within a Napoleonic firing line, cavalry charge or field headquarters. The setting makes the period easy to understand and gives the subject a natural place in the scene.
Give the vignette enough space and avoid treating it merely as a dramatic accessory. Nearby comrades or medical personnel can provide an appropriate sense of concern and purpose.
It will sit naturally alongside Napoleonic infantry, officers, mounted men and standard bearers. Choosing companions from the same historical setting helps keep the story consistent.
The piece also invites an appreciation of the movement, uniform traditions and command of the period. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.
It is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.
Now available from The Military Workshop.
