Here is what Russell had to say,
Look out for Grace the dog on Steuart's stand. She was the mascot
of the 1st Maryland regiment. She was killed in the regiment's second
assault on Culp's Hill on 3rd July 1863.
In life she was more
of a hairy grey mongrel but the model 'Small English Dog' from Eureka
Miniatures I thought looked better in white, contrasting with the grey
uniforms.
I am sure you will all agree that these are very fine looking chaps about to further the cause for the South!!
Looking forward to seeing these guys in the flesh!
Very nice! The mass effect is great!
ReplyDeleteExcellently painted and based regiment. The addition of the mascot really polishes the unit - historically and sentimentally. Best, Dean
