Possible designs for speculative flags for British Huguenot Infantry Regiments Raised By William III 1689-1699

In Robert Hall's book on Dutch flags and uniforms 1685-1715 he cites a statement from August Kühn (based on an unknown source) that "Huguenot regiments had black flags with white crosses and the emblems of the country which supported the regiment" and following that statement I have put together a couple of possible designs for British Huguenot regimental flags. They are probably ludicrously elaborate compared with the operational reality of the army in the 1690s but, if we are going to give our troops flags, then they should at least be impressive!
