Fort Ticonderoga recreates Von Germann painting

Von Germann drawing of a British soldier in Canadian dress
Our staff took a moment this past week to recreate this fantastic period image of a British soldier weathering a cold Canadian winter. Both the cap and the blanket coat are Canadian-style garments, showing how these soldiers adapted to their environment by adopting local styles.

Hessian in the U.K.

 This portrayal is 2 years in the making. Von Donop 1776. By Marshall Beresford.  Very good. Check out his Facebook page here .
