MF-06B – Montreal Brigade, French Militia (2 pcs) | John Jenkins Designs
The defence of New France during the French and Indian War depended heavily upon locally raised Canadian militia. Drawn from the colony's civilian population, these men served alongside French regulars and Indigenous allies in a conflict fought across forests, rivers, settlements and fortified positions.
MF-06B – Montreal Brigade represents two members of the French militia associated with the Montreal district. Men from this region were mobilised as the struggle between Britain and France intensified across North America.
Unlike regular European infantry, Canadian militia were often well accustomed to the conditions of the North American frontier. Many had experience travelling by canoe, hunting and moving through wooded country, skills that could prove valuable during campaigning.
This two-figure set is ideal for adding strength to a larger militia formation or positioning among trees, buildings and defensive works to create a more dispersed force.
Available from The Military Workshop – a versatile John Jenkins Designs pair representing the Montreal militia during the struggle for New France.
