Can someone who has access to Robert Hall's CD on the French Dragoons check to see if any suggested standard is offered for the two dismounted Irish regiments? These would (officially) be the (King's) Dragons a pied du Roi d’Angleterre and the (Queen's) Dragons a pied de la Reine d'Angleterre. I'm n...

Barry, Rebel, anyone? Would anyone like to hazard a guess on the uniforms and flags of the two regiments of Dragoons a pied?

Did Mark Allen ever cover these in his articles after issue 54? I may have a gap or two in my collection.

maciek; "What is the source of your knowledge about the period ?" A bit of a flippant query, however, I understand your frustration. The short answer is that, unlike using Chandler's "The Art of Warfare in the Age of Marlborough" for the WSS, there probably isn't one single book that does justice to...

Gentlemen; Following my earlier post regarding the Irish regiments in France, I finally dug out my copy of Mark Allen's excellent article on the Irish from "Wargames Illustrated", no. 54, page 38. Mr. Allen did a very good job of reconciling some of the conflicts between sources regarding the names,...

Barry, No idea. That's what I meant earlier about the "contradictions and variances". I've seen several other articles citing O'Callaghan as a source, but you are correct, the numbers don't add up. Abstracts from his book were also published as articles by Irish history journals and at least one uni...

Barry, Here is O'Callaghan's text specifically on the Dublin Regiment (minus several footnotes, of which O'Callaghan is very fond): THE INFANTRY REGIMENT OF DUBLIN. The "Regiment de Dublin, Infanterie," appears to have been so called in France, from having been first levied, on the breaking out of t...

Barry, I completely agree on the contradictions. Literally every source I turn to has a slightly different variation; either on the spelling of the name, the Colonel's (if any are given), or which regiments were combined to form the "new" regiments after 1698. I certainly can't guarantee the accurac...

Barry and Tim; I'm a bit disappointed that nobody else could shed any light on this, but I have made some further discoveries on my own. The first is an excellent article on the "Warfare and Wargaming" site in which the author does a good job of reconciling the variances between John Childs, General...

Thank you Sir! That actually helps quite a bit. I have references on several of those regiments from Grant, now just need to come up with some standards. And, of course, keep looking for the Bavarians and German States

Barry, No, apparently these were named after their counties or cities. This has been a bit of a "long strange trip" that began with some OoB's published in "Vae Victus" for the Italian campaign under Catinat, then mention of the same regiments (along with several others) as part of "James' Army of I...

Gentlemen; Can anyone out there shed any light on possible facing and small clothes colors and standards of the Irish Regiments Dublin and Limerick? Both are noted on the OoB for Marsaglia and in McLaughlin's summary of Irish Regiments serving with James II in France (not part of the other Irish Bri...

Gentlemen; As the title states; I am looking for sources (reliable preferably) on any existing OoB's or composition of the three armies facing the French in the Rhineland in 1689. These would have been the army commanded by the Elector of Brandenburg, that commanded by the Elector of Bavaria, and th...
