I am currently painting the 2 Chevau-Leger regiments (Konig & Leiningen) which were part of Von Wrede's division in 1809 I was happy with the facing colours until I came across Johann Cantler pictures of the 2nd Regiment Konig Chevau-Leger. The picture of the trumpetter is shown with a red jacket an...

From Pg30 of the above book "The white coats already issued were worn until they were no longer serviceable and examples of them were seen, especially in Spain for ...
