Unconvincingly depicted in full armour, which conventionally denoted a warrior, Amherst was the British Commander in Chief North America. As such he was Wolfe’s immediate superior but there was no love lost between them and to all intents and purposes their operations were carried out entirely independent of each other. In the background Amherst’s army can be seen running the Long Sault rapids above Montreal.

Regimental colour, 47th Foot. Although they normally had white facings, the 47th went through the Quebec campaign wearing clothing originally destined for Shirley’s disbanded 50th Foot – with red facings. Oddly enough regiments with red facings were also supposed to carry white colours with red crosses, seemingly because red colours were reserved for the Footguards. The 47th were commanded at Quebec by Lieutenant-Colonel John Hale.
