The Silver Bayonet: Canada. Trading Company Unit: A Sapper

 


Hello!

Back to my Trading Company band today. I used a canadian militia model from North Star Military Figures for another member of dangerous Canada's explorers!

A sapper, in the sense first used by the French military, was one who dug trenches to allow besieging forces to advance towards the enemy defensive works and forts over ground that is under the defenders' musket or artillery fire.
       It comes from the French word sapeur, itself being derived from the verb saper (to undermine, to dig under a wall or building to cause its collapse)
