20th Massachusetts - "The Harvard Regiment"


Finished my conversion of Perrys ACW Early Federal Militia to get the right feel and character on this regiment. The nick name "The Harvard Regiment" was accredited due to the large amount of Harvard students in the ranks.

The regiment was spearheading the action into Fredericksburg on December 11th 1862, and here depicted in winter uniforms.

The idea to model this particular regiment was inspired by the "Fire on Caroline Street" painting by Don Troiani.

  2. Very nice looking unit. Do you have any other information about the National flag (with the Eagle) that the unit is carrying, or perhaps any pictures that you worked from to create this flag?

    1. Thank you for the kind words on the unit - it's actually a GMB flag. I can really recommend these. They carry a very comprehensive and beautiful range on the ACW: www.gmbdesigns.com
