Millar, Simon, Vienna, 1683, Campaign 191, Osprey (2008) AFAIK this book is a crap. Really? Why? Info from various Polish language forums. Polish historians, notably the best modern 17th century specialist Radoslaw Sikora called it "full of errors" and "totally unrelaible" at least when reffering t...
To carry on with the original topic of this thread - and moving away from the French army and my comfort zone - it would appear that the English regiments of horse stuck to their crossbelts throughout the period. In his Osprey MAA book on the British army from 1660 to 1704, John Tincey quotes a 169...

I see you seem to think the two Garde battalions would by uniformed the same and carry the same flag's, even though the 1st btn were from Luneburg-Celle and the 2nd btn were from Calenberg-Hanover. I suppose you could be right, raised in different regions of Hanover, but joined together within the ...
I look forward to seeing Regiment 2A as that is what I will be painting first! I'm not sure I've got it's flag. So far I managed to find only eight patterns so I gave it to nine battalions (two guard battalions carry the same flag). My tenth battalion, Boisdavid (later Le Luc) will receive the Kuhn...
Kuhn didn't cite specific sources for individual flags, but put the overal bibliography at the end of his booklet. I'll put my sources when describing colours on my blog. A bit of patience, please. BTW. When does the Hanoverian horse first appear on flags? Flags with white horses were taken at Speye...
