This little unit shows up at Hobkirk's Hill and saves the day at Eutaw Springs for the British. They sometimes referred to as as dragoons, as mounted infantry, as rifle dragoons. Sometimes they are considered part of the New York Volunteers, and at other times the South Carolina Royalists, both provincial units. It's a unit I want to paint, but I haven't been able to locate any information on their dress, or solid information on their unit affiliation. Any help out there? Thanks in advance.

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
