On the understanding that: "Every wargames unit should ideally have a flag or flags" I created these speculative flags for Mark over on the Fife and Drum Forum. They are for the Loyalist unit that served throughout the American War of Independence (or American Revolution, if you prefer) and I thought that I'd offer them here as someone might be interested who does not have access to the Fife and Drum Forum.
There's a good detailed history of the unit here: http://www.royalprovincial.com/military/rhist/pwar/pwarhist.htm
These are great - if you like a challenge, I am trying to come up with Red Navy flags for the RCW!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-) Mmmm - the trouble with the RCW is that it's hard when doing Russians to get out of the "red flag with hammer and sickle" rut... And trying something different would seem historically inappropriate. Very tricky!

Speculative but very nice, which is what we really want from our flags:).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steve. :-) I would love to have time and energy to do more AWI flags; sometime, hopefully. At least the Prussian infantry flags are close to completion now, with only a few sets to go.
