First raised 1675. One battalion in British pay 1689-1697.
Company flag of the regiment.
There is no known Colonel's flag.
By the WSS the regiment consisted of 3 battalions with 6 musketeer companies each and one grenadier company.
One battalion was in Austrian pay 1701-1709 and consisted of 6 musketeer companies and one grenadier company. In 1702-1702 this battalion was involved in the invasion of Northern Italy and on 15th August 1702 fought at the battle of Luzzara.
And this was probably the uniform in the WSS:
That is a very nice flag indeed David, I like the uniform as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie! :-) With the saltire it definitely has a feel of a Scottish flag about it.

Lovely work David, with a simple design and some nice details to lift it:).
