Hi to one and all
Legion miniatures continue to treat us with releases and I was lucky enough to get this one ( as well as others including foot figures recently which I will share whenever I can )
The subject of this release is a famed Russian general highly regarded in Russia even now for his outstanding bravery ...namely PIOTR BAGRATION
Note: above is a Z brush picture
Lets have a litte bit of background on him:
His military service began in the age of 17 in 1782 as a sergeant of the Caucasian Musketeer regiment.
In the rank of General-Major he took part in the Italian campaign of Suvorov in 1799.
In the Russian-Austrian-French war of 1805 he showed himself as a talented commander of the rear-guard.
In 1805 he distinguished himself in the bloody battle at Shengraben
Kutuzov promoted him to the rank of General-Lieutenant and rewarded him witn the Order of St.George of the 2nd Class.
In 1809 in the rank of General of Infantry was appointed the commander of the Moldavian Army
At Borodino in 1812 under the command of Bagration infantrymen and artillerymen beat off seven attacks one after another.
In the eighth attack Bagration was wounded very seriously: a shell-splinter splintered his left hip.
He continued to command and didn't leave the battle till the loos of blood had weakened him finally.
He died on September,12, 1812 of this wound in Simy village in Vladimir gubernia. At July,5 1839 his remains were reburied in the Borodino Field near the memorial to the heroes of the war of 1812.
Bagration took part in many campaigns, wars and battles.
For his courage, bravery and military skills he was rewarded with many Russian and foreign Orders and arms: the gold sword decorated with diamonds with the inscription "For courage".
