As I haven't used or checked on that information, I see that they probably do relate to HK, not HD, as suggested. HD supplied 1 battalion to the Reichsarmee, a template for which I've put elsewhere on the blog (and in which I refer to Ludwig VIII as ruler). LB Foch was, of course, not a Reichsarmee unit.<br /><br />Look forward to hearing more - thanks.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />David.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-77914083700931965412009-06-23T14:46:07.885+00:002009-06-23T14:46:07.885+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-9320469846727826112009-06-23T14:41:19.890+00:002009-06-23T14:41:19.890+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Morfitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016926084467625584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-85768164852245284742009-06-23T10:09:40.474+00:002009-06-23T10:09:40.474+00:00this from another German friend, think you might k...this from another German friend, think you might know of the links he listed, as soon as he can access his files he'll dig out more for us<br /><br />"have no access to my files at the moment , but it seems to me that there is a mix up of Hesse-Kassel and Darmstadt. <br />Also the Reishskontingent was NO part of the HD Army <br /> <br />There was no Friedrich in HD, only in HK<br /> <br />Hessen-Darmstadt<br />1568–1596 Georg I. <br />1596–1626 Ludwig V. <br />1626–1661 Georg II. <br />1661–1678 Ludwig VI. <br />1678 Ludwig VII. <br />1678–1739 Ernst Ludwig <br />1739–1768 Ludwig VIII. <br />1768–1790 0D Ludwig IX. <br />1790–1830 Ludwig X.

I have quite a long list of books, including German language books like Bleckwenn on the Prussian Army, Dorn and Engelmann (various), too long to list immediately. I'll dig through and make a proper list, and then post it here. I should anyway have given a list of my sources on the blog some time ago, so people can see what I'm using.<br /><br />It will take me a while but I'll post soon, I hope.

Examples of what's in my library, Bleckwenn, Menzel, Dorn and Engelmann, colour plates by Herre und Tradition plus many, many more, i also have contact with German uniformologists who are very happy to answer my queries and offer guidance on books etc, eg through them i was able to obtain 2 very handy books on the Saxon and Hanoverian Armies in SYW (all in German but illustrations tell a thousand words), if can help in any way please just ask<br />cheers old johnold johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13939079093965317317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133987073420297016.post-28596741715917483982009-06-19T23:44:55.636+00:002009-06-19T23:44:55.636+00:00Thanks, Old John.
