Clash of Empires: Hessian Regiment von Donop, Alert
Manufacture Product Number : WBN-16192 1/30 Scale |
| During the American War for Independence most of the German troops were required to be clean shaven. Musketeers wore their hair quite long with a tightly wrapped queue or zopf that extended to the middle of the back. Side locks were worn, two to each side in the form of two horizontal curls at each side of the face. Lt. Johann Carl Philipp von Krafft, a soldier of Capt. Eigenbrod’s Grenadier company, stated in his diary that, “From this time, since Philadelphia we had to wear hair-locks again”. This would seem to indicate that the men had false queues if not real ones. On parade the hair was normally powdered in keeping with period custom, something that would persist throughout the century. |
