A special company was formed in many of the American regiments, following the British system, of active, well disciplined men to function as light infantry scouts and skirmishers. At times all the American light infantry were gathered into an elite battalion for specific missions. The battalion of well trained and equiped soldiers that Delaware sent to join Washington's army before the battles of Long Island and White Plains were all wearing this type of cap, including officers and musicians. The clothing that arrived from France in 1778 for the entire army, including the light troops, was apportioned to the states' Continental reigments as follows: dark blue faced red for North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, those who drew red brown uniform coats faced red were Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Masachusetts, New Hampshire and Congress' own Canadian regiments. Since there were more blue faced red uniforms, some Massachusetts, Virginia and Delaware regiments were issued these.
Coloring Note: Coloring information included with series #42 is for the Delaware Battalion, and Congress' Own light company.
