Theodore Russell succeeded the Duke of Ormonde as colonel in September 1688. I am not sure if he was removed, or whether he decided to cast his fate with William III. In any case, his regiment was taken over by Patrick Sarsfield with the regiment becoming part of the Irish Jacobite Army. The regimen...

New saw that book before. Quite a different league than Walton's work!

kind regards, Wenand

It is a nice book which catalogues a tremendous amount of (little) details. Unfortunately there seems to be only one digitized copy around, which is also used by some profiteers who sell it in paper, which misses pages 156-169 (covering the battle of Aughrim). Guess the person scanner the pages fell...

hi Phil, You are welcome. If there is mis-identification, then that is mostly due to our moderners misunderstanding of that period. From the Dutch perspective, these Huguenot officers were probably just incorporated (attached to) in established regiments (the Garde Dragonders and Marwitz' Regiment)....

dear all, Not an expert on military matters of the English Civil Wars, I was triggered by a reference to the employment of French mercenaries in the Royalist army between 1643 and 1645. This is stated in 'The Civil Wars. A Military History of England, Scotland and Ireland 1638--1660', edited by John...

hi Phil, These are indeed two mystery regiments. As many will know, many Huguenots had fled to the Dutch Republic after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. What could happen with the refugees with military ambitions, is that they were attached (incorporated) in Dutch regiments. In principle that ...

hi Old John,

Thank you! Maybe there are some bits. And if there is nothing more, well, too bad then.

kind regards, Wienand

dear all, Just an odd question that popped to my mind lately. The Covenanter army of the 1679 rebellion was not really small, several thousand of men. What I wondered, is there any information on their composition, if any, and possible sub-structuring in battalion or regiments? kind regards, Wienand

gentlemen, thank you for the replies. Here you will find a Digitized Book about the standing Army of Brunswick 1600-1714, from 1899, german Language of course - free for download (25MB) Techn. University of Brunswick: https://publikationsserver.tu-braunschweig.de/receive/dbbs_mods_00028569 Thank you...

dear all, Yet another question on the identification of a Hanoverian colonel in the early 1690s. It is related to the Hanoverian Regiment (or the Calenberg partition of Brunswick-Luneburg) that was later denoted as 9B (as it formed the root of the 9. Infanterie Regiment that was formed in 1773). Thi...

hi all, Thanks for the replies. Still not convinced :-) It simply doesn't make sense for Ernst Detlof to be busy in Mecklenburg, whilst pursuing other things in Sweden and who was busy in Poland around 1708 and 1709. Also, the wiki on Adam Philipp states he commanded a regiment of dragoons, was prom...

all, Having some time for research with the force isolation &c, I wanted to ask about the Krassow brother during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, We have Ernst Detlof von Krassow (1660-23 Jan 1714). An officer in Swedish service, ultimately reaching the rank of lieutenant-general. The German ...

From the top of my head, only drawings by the author(?); no colour plates. For the rest text.
