The Jacobite Piper by Mark Churms. (P)
DHM362P. The Jacobite Piper by Mark Churms. After the unsuccessful march on London, Prince Charlie retreats to the safety of Scotland. The army regroups and more men come to join the cause, including soldiers from France. However King Georges men are never far away. As dark, winter rain clouds draw in over the high ground above the town of Falkirk, the Jacobite army assembles to face Hang-man Hawleys dragoons and infantry. A piper plays on while the men of Ogilvys Regiment, in the second line, load and make ready their weapons for the coming assault. Bonnie Prince Charlie (so called for his nature, not his looks) rides down the ranks followed by Lord Elcho and his Life Guards. Red coated Irish Pickets, regulars from France, are also in reserve. Original painting by Mark Churms. Was £7200! Image size 40 inches x 30 inches (102cm x 76cm)

| Artist Details : Mark Churms |
Mark Churms
Mark was born in Wales in 1967. He gained his degree in Architectural Studies at Oxford Polytechnic in 1989, but soon his interest in drawing buildings was surpassed by his love of painting horses and in 1991 he began work as a freelance artist. His first commissions were for sporting subjects, Polo, Racing and Hunting. However his consuming passion for military history, particularly of the Napoleonic era, quickly became his dominant theme, with the invaluable counsel of French military experts (accuracy in uniform and terrain of the various battles takes a great deal of time and consultation with many experts across Europe). Mark Churms joined Cranston Fine Arts in 1991 and for a period of 8 years, was commissioned for several series and special commissions. His series of the Zulu War, and of the Battle of Waterloo were the highlights during this period. Mark Churms' deep understanding and detailed knowledge of the period made Mark at that time one of the most prolific and successfull artists for Cranston Fine Arts. Cranston Fine Arts are proud with their series of superb art prints and original paintings painted by Mark Churms in this period. We now offer Mark Churms art prints in special 2 and 4 print packs with great discounts as well as a number of selected original paintings at upto half price.

| Battle of Falkirk | |
| Battle of Falkirk On the 17th January 1746 the Jacobite troops were seen marching to Falkirk moor. Harley's Royal troops formed up and Hawley ordered the troops to march onto the moor. Rain had started and the weather turned bleak, and it was getting dark. It was believed that the highlanders would not stand against a cavalry charge. As the three Regiments of Dragoons advance onto the Highlanders they received a heavy volley form the Jacobites; they broke and fled. The Highlanders then attacked the two lines of Foot, under this attack most of the Royal regiments broke ranks and fled leaving only three regiments; the Ligoniers, Barrel’s and Price’s, who held their ground. Most of the army made its way back to Edinburgh followed by the three regiments which stood their ground. The grenadier company of Barrel's regiment dragged the abandoned artillery pieces which had been stuck in the heavy mud.
