For regimental details, see the entry on the Spanish Foot Guards previously. The Walloon Guards were first raised 1704 and saw much distinguished service in the War of the Spanish Succession.
Like the other foot guard regiment, they saw minimal service in the Seven Years War.
The uniform was the same as that of the Spanish Foot Guards as shown in my previous posting.
This flag set is also one of those commissioned by Lewis Simpson-Jones. :-)
Oh I love the richness of that blue flag, which is beautifully set of with the red and gold!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. Yes, it is rather striking, isn't it? Should look good on the wargames table...
