Anglo-Allied Peninsular Command: Col George de GREY

 

The Honourable George de Grey (3rd Baron Walsingham) commands another of my cavalry brigades and I have him with an ADC taken from the 3rd Dragoons Guards (white collar/cuffs). The good Colonel himself is uniformed as Colonel of the 1st Dragoons (dark blue cuffs).

There's no reason to suppose that de Grey was a particularly 'ordinary' brigadier but I need a spread of command ratings and in the absence of commentary to the contrary, I've given him but a rating of 7.

George as 34 at Busaco in 1810. He survived the wars, making Lieutenant General in 1821 and died aged 54 having burnt to death in his London home.


Both of these figures are newly painted Perry Miniatures castings.
