Captain John Stevens records in his Journal that the Lord Grand Prior's Regiment in June 1690 consisted of 13 companies, each of 62 men for a total of 806 private soldiers at full strength with 39 corporals, 26 sergeants, 12 ensigns, 13 lieutenants, 1 captains, 1 major, 3 lieutenant colonels, plus reformado officers (i.e. officers with no companies of their own), for a complete total of 910. The drummers wore blue lined white. The grenadiers had caps with the logo of a flaming city and the motto "The fruits of rebellion", the same as the colours. The musketeer uniform was red lined white.
Two regimental and one Colonel's colour were carried. The regiment was also called Fitzjames after its colonel. Originally the regiment had two battalions with 22 companies and a strength of 1100.
Very nice.

Excellent work David!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. :-) It's relatively simple design but quite effective...

Lovely flag David, a very useful one too as you just have to have that regiment in your Jacobite army!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donnie. :-) Indeed; no Jacobite army should be without it!
