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 Champagne
First raised 1558 and counted as one of the Petits Vieux regiments. This was a four battalion regiment so was the only unit in the Champagne Brigade. The regiment was at Hastenbeck, Krefeld, Bergen, Minden, Langensalza and Wilhelmstahl. At Minden it was in the first line of the left wing infantry.
The flags were unchanged from 1569 to 1791.

You probably already know this series of (rather naive) series of colored plates?
ReplyDeleteHi Jean-Louis,
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes. They're a little late for the SYW but still useful. :-)
Cheers,
David.
Glad to see your project is progressing so well...
ReplyDeleteDavid- Yet another cool flag. One would have thought that a flag from Champagne would be a bit more... effervescent?
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have answered this numerous times, but where doyour fantastic unit images come from? Is it just one awesome tome?
Regards,
Thomas
Thanks, Bill. :-)
