At the Battle of Savannah in 1789, more than 500 soldiers from Saint Domingue (present day Haiti), joined the Continental and French forces to lay siege to the British held City of Savannah.
While the British effectively repelled the attackers over a month, the Haitian troops acquitted themselves as brave, resilient, and fluidly capable to intertwine with the French and Continental troops.
This new LOD figure set includes eight figures in eight poses including a young Henri Christophe as the drummer boy (12 years old). In another twelve years as a young adult, Henri enlisted in the Haitian Militia and ultimately became the first President and King of Haiti.
The figures are resin and include three firing poses, two poses with soldiers reloading their flintlock, one wounded pose, the drummer boy, and the captain firing a pistol.
