The "thin red line" refers to the British infantry tactic used during the Seven Years War, particularly exemplified at the Battle of Minden in 1759. It described the formation of soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder in a single line, with red uniforms distinguishing them from other troops. This formation allowed for coordinated volleys of fire against the enemy while maintaining a strong defensive posture. The tactic became symbolic of British military discipline and effectiveness during the war.
