Sapherson's "The Danish Army 1699-1715" has Dronningen's in Red coat, lined in yellow. Grey waistcoat and breeches. White stockings and cravat. Brass buttons. Yellow hat border and cockade. I understand it's a little late for the Irish campaign but it's all I've got.

There's an illustration of this also on page 70 of BLB along with a couple of interpretations of Prinds Georg's. These also I suspect came from the same Sapherson source.

For Prinds Georg's he says: Up to 1701 the coat was pale green. After this it became light grey. Waistcoat, breeches, linings and stockings were orange. Buttons tin. Cravat and hat border white. Cockade yellow.

And just for completeness, Prince Frederik's (later Prinds Christian's): Light grey coat lined in crimson or dep red. Grey breeches, crimson waistcoat and stockings. Tin buttons. White cravat. Hat border and cockade in crimson.

many thanks for the info andy. i'm actualy more confused now. as in michael mcnally's book the battle of aughrim they have a robert hall plate which show's prince freedrick as having a blue coat faced red , red waist coast , red breeches and stockings .also had a troll through the site and found an interesting post called danish uniform's who to belive rebel states that the prince geogre regt should be white/gris-mesle faced in green in 1690/91.

Welcome to the Glorious Revolution - these topics have been making me crazy for over a year... Danish uniforms in particular went through a lot of changes between the Scanian Wars and the later 1699+ and it is hard to tell exactly when some of these units were issued...

thanks for the welcome.

Really need Dan the Man on this one... he for me is the definitive source

is that dan shorr by any chance who used to run the northern wars website

Yes it is and a grand fellow for certain. Very willing to help out when he is hereabouts. [edit- Which I have just noticed he was in the last hour.]

used to go on his website sadly it dosn't appear to be there anymore . i'm sure i have a copy of his artical's on the danish army somewhere ,but if i rember correctly they only cover 1699 onwards.

Guys,

I'll try to put something together. I've ordered a copy of Sapherson and Grant. I think much of the confusion stems from these. I am interested in the sources, if any, that they used. I'll get back.

Dan

thank you in advance mr shorr.

What a gent!
