Summary
| Description |
English: This cherubic wooden figure designed for comic effect is one of the earliest representations of a Scottish soldier in service with the British Army. It was one of several that decorated the 'Old Chelsea Bun-House', a London coffee-house close to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, a home for discharged soldiers founded in the 1680s. The uniform is that of the Royal North British Fusiliers, an infantry regiment formed in 1678. The regiment's name reveals its Scottish identity, as does the figure's thistle cap badge . It is one of three such figures displayed in the Scottish National War Museum in Edinburgh Castle. |
