PBART-04W – British Foot Artillery Pre-1813, Artillery Crew Loading, White Trousers (2 pcs) | John Jenkins Designs
British artillery played an increasingly important role during the wars against Napoleonic France, providing infantry and cavalry with powerful battlefield support.
PBART-04W depicts two British Foot Artillery crewmen loading a gun, wearing the white-trouser variation appropriate to the presentation of this set.
Operating a muzzle-loading field gun required a coordinated team. Between shots, the crew had to reload, reposition and prepare the weapon while exposed to enemy artillery and small-arms fire.
The loading poses make this pair particularly useful around a British field piece. Combined with other artillerymen performing different tasks, collectors can recreate the complete sequence of a gun crew actively serving its weapon rather than simply standing around it.
The pre-1813 designation also makes this set particularly suitable for earlier Peninsular War displays.
Available through The Military Workshop – an excellent John Jenkins Designs two-figure artillery crew for bringing a British gun position to life.
