NAP065 – Junior Officer
Lead your British infantry into battle with NAP065 – Junior Officer, a beautifully hand-painted figure from Thomas Gunn Miniatures depicting a junior officer of the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot during the Napoleonic Wars. Available from The Military Workshop, this finely detailed figure represents the courage, leadership, and professionalism expected of Britain's officer corps during one of history's greatest military conflicts.
British junior officers bore enormous responsibility on the battlefield. Often commissioned at a young age, they were expected to lead from the front, maintaining discipline, directing manoeuvres, encouraging their men under fire, and ensuring orders were carried out amidst the chaos of battle. Unlike later conflicts, officers were highly visible in their distinctive uniforms and were frequent targets for enemy marksmen and artillery, making their role both prestigious and exceptionally dangerous.
The 28th Regiment of Foot earned a distinguished reputation throughout the Napoleonic Wars, serving in Egypt, the Peninsular Campaign, and at the Battle of Waterloo. The regiment became famous for its legendary "Back-to-Back" defence at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, where it successfully repelled French cavalry attacks from two directions simultaneously. This remarkable feat of discipline and bravery earned the regiment the unique honour of wearing a badge on both the front and rear of its headdress—a tradition that endured for generations.
Expertly sculpted and richly hand-painted, NAP065 captures a young officer confidently leading his men, sword in hand, ready to inspire his regiment through the smoke and confusion of battle. His authentic uniform, realistic pose, and meticulous attention to historical detail make him an ideal command figure for any British Napoleonic formation.
Whether displayed at the head of an advancing line, commanding an infantry square, or directing volleys against the advancing French, NAP065 – Junior Officer provides the perfect focal point for any Napoleonic collection.
