Every morning in the Prussian army the soldiers all assemble on the parade ground for the morning inspection. The pictures in this post depict a company of Prussian soldiers being inspected by their captain on the morning parade.

While the soldiers are getting ready for the parade, we note that the senior officers of the army have already been awake since first daylight preparing for the day's activities, assuming that there is no battle today.

This scene takes place in the village of Gross Kammin in Silesia during the Seven Years War. I like to put villages and related vignettes in the corners of my game table, where they are out of the way from the action in the center of the table. It also provides an opportunity to display all of the civilians and military vignettes in my SYW collection.
