The Thin Red Line

406 piece interlocking plywood puzzle with small pieces and a separate title piece. Black box with white label, inner cloth bag.

The painting shows the red-coated Sutherland Highlanders 93rd (Highland) Regiment at the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854. In this incident, the 93rd, aided by a small force of Royal Marines and some Turkish infantrymen, led by Sir Colin Campbell, routed a Russian cavalry charge. Campbell formed the 93rd into a line two deep — the "thin red line" - rather than the usual four deep.

The painting is by the Scottish artist Robert Gibb (1845-1932)
