Standards of the Danish 1st Sjaellandske Cavalry Regiment late 17th to early 18th Century

First raised 1670. Divided into 1st and 2nd Sjaellendske Regiments in 1675.




Service:

Served in the Great Northern War; landing at Humlebaek 1700; Scanian Campaign 1709 and 1710; battle of Wismar 1711; battle of Gadebusch and sieges of Stade and Stralsund 1712. Sent to Zealand 1716.

Disbanded 1721.

The motto on the standard means: "Everything Has Its Time" (one of many mottoes carried by the various standards of this regiment).

And this was probably the uniform late 17th to early 18th century:

    1. Thank you, Donnie. Yes, they did not serve in the WSS, sadly, but that shouldn't stop anyone using them in a Marlburian army, of course. :-)

      All the best,

      David.

    1. Thank you, Steve. Even as small as they'll probably be used they should still be fairly striking, I hope.

      All the best,

      David.
