3 battalions strong; each of 6 musketeer companies. There was one grenadier company.
One battalion of Prince George served in Ireland in 1690. One battalion served in Imperial service 1702-1709 and was in theory 6 companies and a total of 691 men strong. The first and second battalions of Prince George were in the service of Holland and Great Britain in 1701-1714; there were 13 companies (including the grenadier company) with a theoretical strength of 1544 men.
And this was the battalion flag according to Sapherson, The Danish Army 1699-1715:
And this was the uniform in the early part of the WSS:
Very nice indeed!

Damn! This is another Danish WSS regiment I have in my collection David, but have already "flagged" and like rebasing, I am not at all keen to consider removing the existing flags and replacing them with your excellent versions!
ReplyDeletePity! ;-) I do love seeing my flags in action - but perhaps one day you'll do it. Glad you like them anyway.

David.
Excellent flag David.
ReplyDeleteWillz.
Thank you, Willz. :-) It's not one of the more complicated heraldic flags but it's attractive nonetheless...
DeleteAll the best,
David.
Very nice David.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. :-) I know you did a nice version of this flag some time ago too.
DeleteAll the best,
David.
Excellent work as always David and a flag that will be useful for when I do get around to doing some Ireland or Monmouth's Rebellion games:).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. :-) I look forward to seeing them in action with your troops at some point!
DeleteAll the best,
David.
