Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM363. The Charge of the Highlanders at the Battle of Prestonpans, by Mark Churms. Battle of Prestonpans. Bonnie Prince Charlie, after landing at Glenfinnan, in his bid to gain the British Throne. Lord George Murray with an army of 2,000 Jacobites marched southward where they were met at Prestonpans by General Sir John Cope and a Royal army of 3,000 men On the 21st September, the Jacobites charged the government troops and routed them. Hundreds of Government troops were killed or wounded and over 1,000 were captured, with the Jacobite losses less than 150. With this victory Charles Edward Stuart and the Jacobite army marched southwards into England capturing the towns of Carlisle, Penrith, Lancaster and Preston and getting as far as Nottingham before lack of supplies and new recruits forced him to head back to Scotland. Through the early morning Autumn mist, Highlanders of the Appin Regiment abandon their plaids and rush headlong across fields of stubble into the stunned ranks of Jonny Cope's army. The force sent by the Crown to destroy the rebellion and capture the Pretender is itself utterly routed in a matter of minutes. The first major engagement of the uprising is a swift and complete victory for the Prince's men. Except for the garrisons of Edinburgh, Stirling, Fort William and Fort Augustus, Scotland is now under the control of the Jacobites. Signed limited edition of 2500 prints. Image size 15 inches x 24 inches (38cm x 61cm)
