The same pattern of colours was carried throughout the regiment's history.
And this plate shows the uniform and flags in 1757:
Being a uniform and flag design service to wargamers and to the imaginary crowned heads of 17th and 18th Century Europe, especially of the Seven Years War period - now By Appointment to the Court of Saxe-Bearstein! (But please note that the uniforms and flags presented here are not fictional - they are genuine 17th and 18th Century uniforms and flags that are as authentic as I can make them from my sources.)

Minden French Flags Project - Regiment Talaru/d'Aumont
First raised 1673, this regiment began the SYW with the name Talaru but the name had recently changed to d'Aumont in January 1758. From December 1762 it was renamed Beauce after the province. (From 1673 when it was raised as d'Huxelles to Beauce 1763 it had altogether 10 different names.) A 2 battalion regiment, it was brigaded with Touraine at Minden (see previous entry below) where it was badly mauled. Its grenadiers wore the bearskin from 1753.

Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning it. What browser are you using? In Firefox and IE I find that the contact form is slightly truncated on its right side (I have no control over the pasted widget code) but doesn't overlap the top post at all. I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem as you are finding? Curious.
Cheers,
David.
