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.)
Claimed as a flag of Cameron of Locheil's regiment, this may actually have been a flag of Cameron of Glendessary, according to Stuart Reid. The central panel does have the Cameron arms but the crest is not Locheil's sheaf of arrows; it is an arm and sword rising out of a helm. There is a 1689 reference to "Glendessary's ruddy banner". Locheil's own banner was probably the one I depicted earlier with red and yellow horizontal bars.

Another dandy, David! I am seriously considering expanding my WAS project to include the Jacobite Rebellion.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jon. :-) I'd been sitting on that one for a while (created the first version in early 2023) but I was not entirely happy with it. Made a few tweaks yesterday and posted it at last. Hate to add to your huge hobby workload but it would be good to see the Jacobite flags in use with your troops!
DeleteAll the best,
David.
Excellent flag David!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you do Jon.

Thank you, Alan! :-) A fair number of the Jacobite flags have good heraldry!

Thank you, Willz. :-) I think there are a few more Jacobite flags still to do. I plan to do the flags of Royal Ecossais sometime too...
