Re: Allied/German Uniform guide NYW 1690-96

Re: Allied/German Uniform guide NYW 1690-96

Hi Ray, Thanks for posting the info. on your blog, but I was wondering if you have any uniform and facing colours for the Gauvin regiment (Luneburg Celle) for 1704 as these were part of Wilken's Brigade in the 2nd line under the overall command of Lord Cutts assault column.
