Washington's Guard Company – Standing Corporal Shouting Orders This 1/30 scale figure captures a corporal of Washington's Life Guard—the elite Continental Army unit charged with protecting General George Washington—mid-command, shouting orders to his men during the heat of battle. His resolute stance and raised voice embody the authority and discipline expected of the officers who served under America's first commander-in-chief. Formed on March 11, 1776, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, Washington's Guard was composed of carefully selected soldiers chosen for their intelligence, sobriety, and reliability. Beyond protecting Washington himself, the Guard was responsible for securing headquarters, military papers, and the Continental Army's treasury. Over the course of the war, the Life Guard served alongside Washington through every major campaign, symbolizing unity and loyalty in the fight for independence. Hand-painted in exquisite detail, this figure wears the Life Guard's striking blue and buff uniform with red waistcoat and crossbelts, complete with musket and fixed bayonet. His open-mouthed pose adds a touch of realism—perfect for dioramas or collections depicting Revolutionary War leadership and command in action, shouting orders down the line to the W.G.C. soldiers in standing firing under the senior eye of the Bodyguard Sergeant with pistol and sword, with his command counterpart in the matte 1/30 W.
