This Expeditionary Force boxed set of 9 British Line Infantry Center Company contingent. Set includes 8 musket infantry and 1 lancer.

A British line infantry battalion during the Napoleonic Wars was commanded by its regimental colonel or a lieutenant colonel, and was composed of ten companies, of which eight were “centre” companies, and two were “flank” companies: one a grenadier and one a specialist light company. Companies were commanded by captains, with lieutenants and ensigns (or subalterns) beneath him. Ideally, a battalion consisted of 1000 men (excluding NCOs, musicians and officers), but active service depleted the numbers. Generally, the 1st (or senior) battalion of a regiment would draw fit recruits from the 2nd battalion to maintain its strength. If also sent on active service, the 2nd battalion would consequently be weaker.
