NAP070 – Officer with Regimental Colours

Lead your Napoleonic collection with NAP070 – Officer with Regimental Colours, a beautifully hand-painted figure from Thomas Gunn Miniatures depicting an officer of the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot proudly carrying his regiment's Colours. Available from The Military Workshop, this striking figure represents the courage, leadership, and pride that defined one of Britain's most distinguished regiments.

During the Napoleonic Wars, a regiment's Colours were far more than decorative flags—they embodied its honour, traditions, and battlefield identity. Carried into the fiercest fighting, they acted as a rallying point for soldiers amid the smoke and confusion of battle. The responsibility of protecting and carrying the Colours was one of the greatest honours in the British Army, but also one of the most dangerous, as enemy troops deliberately targeted them in an effort to break a regiment's spirit.

The 28th Regiment of Foot earned everlasting fame during the Battle of Alexandria in 1801, where it successfully fought off simultaneous attacks from both front and rear. Ordered to hold their ground, the regiment formed two ranks facing opposite directions, creating an extraordinary defence that became known as the "Back-to-Back" formation. This remarkable feat of discipline and courage later inspired the regiment to wear its famous badge on the rear of the shako, a distinction unique within the British Army.

Expertly sculpted and richly hand-painted, NAP070 captures the officer standing proudly with the regimental Colours held high, inspiring his men to stand firm in the face of the enemy. The exceptional attention to historical detail, from the uniform to the beautifully reproduced Colours, makes this figure a superb centrepiece for any Napoleonic display.

Whether leading a formation of British infantry or displayed as a standalone collector's piece, NAP070 – Officer with Regimental Colours is an outstanding tribute to the steadfast professionalism and battlefield heroism of the 28th Regiment of Foot.
