I've been working on some very cryptic source material for late 17th century Dutch infantry flags of late and have not yet completed the flag sheets as the material is so very difficult to interpret satisfactorily; so, as it is some time since I last posted anything, to keep things ticking over on the blog here are the colours of Jacobite infantry regiment Gordon O'Neill 1689-1691.
Captain John Steven's records in his Journal that Gordon O'Neill's regiment consisted of 13 companies, each of 62 men for a total of 806 private soldiers at full strength. Their uniform was red lined white and faced red.
Nice flag David and a very handy one, I have a slow burning project on the go that this should be perfect for.
