556083 1/72 Napoleonic Wars: British Green Jackets
The 95th regiment was a typical “rifle
regiment” of light infantry. It was one of the first units to be equipped with
the Baker rifles, remarkably more accurate than ordinary smooth bore muskets.
Unlike the British line infantry who wore the traditional (and easily spotted)
red coats, the regiment was equipped with dark green uniforms that can be
considered an early form of “camo” uniform. They fought in loose order, like
all light infantry units of the time. They took part in the campaign in the
Peninsula and in the battle of Waterloo.
