Standards of the British Horse (or Horse Grenadier) Guards 1713

These standards are too attractive not to be posted, although the units did not serve in the War of the Spanish Succession and the design is really too late for use in the earlier periods. They are recreated from verbal descriptions in the Great Wardrobe Accounts. However, given the paucity of well-documented British cavalry standards for this period, they may still be of use for those not too obsessed with absolute accuracy and are anxious to give every unit a standard...

The Kronoskaf WSS site has the histories of these units under Household Cavalry at: https://kronoskaf.com/wss/index.php?title=British_Army#Household_Cavalry
