This finely detailed figurine depicts an ensign of the British 43rd Regiment of Foot bearing the King’s Colours during the American Revolutionary War. Commanded by Major George Hewett, the regiment played a key role in the Siege of Yorktown, enduring significant casualties while defending the advanced redoubt on the left flank. The regiment was ultimately forced to surrender alongside the rest of Cornwallis’s forces on October 19, 1781. Though the official surrender included both the King’s and regimental colours, the 43rd maintained that their colours were safely kept at a depot in New York. This piece captures the pride and resilience of the regiment amid one of the conflict’s decisive moments.
