Sir Wellington Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Irish Bulkeley Soldier What is a Bulkeley?: The Irish Brigade was a brigade in the French army composed of Irish exiles. It was formed in May 1690 when five Jacobite regiments were sent from Ireland to France in return for a larger force of French infantry who were sent to fight in the Williamite war in Ireland. The Irish Brigade served as part of the French Army until 1792. Historical Note: Irish Bulkeleys were NOT used in Napoleonic Armies. Decal kindly made by: Clone Killer Quote

Hound Knight Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Very nice 'fig, I hadn't heard of these guys before. I'm really liking this increase in custom figures that we've been having lately. Quote
Admiral Croissant Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Looking good! I searched some images of this type of army, but I coud only find guys with other uniforms than this one. But this army lived for a very long time so I suppose your soldiers are just from another time Well, anyway, they look good and the feather-thing on the head is also a nice add. Do you have pictures of real soldiers with this uniform? I always like to compare these things. Quote

Sir Wellington Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 Yeah, Im still waiting for Brickarms to release their bayonet since It looks really good. I'm probally going to go into debt supplying my whole army with Bayonet's. Quote
