Plastic American Civil War Foot Set - 69th New York Prince of Wales Irish Brigade Regiment

This is a set of the 5 plastic toy soldiers on metal bases shown! They come in a bag (NO BOX).

"In October 1860, the 69th Regiment, New York State Militia, an Irish unit headquartered in New York City and led by Colonel Michael Corcoran, refused to march in a parade for the visiting Prince of Wales, the Queen’s son, to protest the British monarchy’s failed policies in Ireland. On March 16, 1861, the regiment received a special flag, known as the “Prince of Wales” color, from the local Irish-American community to honor and celebrate this controversial public display of defiance."
