William Baillie



Left; William Baillie
by Nathaniel Hone, after Robert Edge Pineetching, 1752


Don't know too much about this artist/soldier (1723-1818)other than he did some excellent studies of British troops and may have been in the 13th Foot. The infantry are from 1753 and the Officer of the 17th Light Dragoons 1761. The dragoon grenadiers 1740.

  1. Very nice, thank you for posting. Where did you find these? Anne S.K. Brown or the Imperial War Museum?

Hessian in the U.K.

 This portrayal is 2 years in the making. Von Donop 1776. By Marshall Beresford.  Very good. Check out his Facebook page here .
