3e batallion, 22e Demi-brigade Légère

Yesterday I completed the third battalion 22e Demi-Brigade Légère for the French in Egypt project.


This is the first of six battalions (supported by the two light guns - images of which were posted last week - one horse gun and six mounted officers) that is the French in Egypt expansion. 


The battalion completes the 22e since two battalions were completed earlier in the year.



Now waiting at the door of the uniform store are two more Légère battalions, this time of the 4e Demi-Brigade.

      Thanks Aly. I thought much the same...when I was painting it I kept thinking "it ain't half hot mum"...but in French of course.

      Thank you Jonathan. Currently working on the 4e Légère with green coats and puce facings. I am trying to decide which of the line units to do next - red with green facings is winning sonfar.

    Great work on these. Will you be doing a grand parade of each contingent when you have completed them?
