Standards of the English Life Guards and Horse Grenadiers Under Queen Anne 1702

Building on, and in a way completing, my recent posts on the English/British Guards cavalry are these standards of the Life Guards and Horse Grenadiers of 1702, early in the reign of Queen Anne and using her cipher. As before I refer the reader to the complex accounts of these units on Kronoskaf's War of the Spanish Succession pages. These units unfortunately did not actually serve in the War of the Spanish Succession but their standards may be of use given the paucity of flags for this period. I have recreated these standards from verbal descriptions in the Great Wardrobe Accounts. They add a little variety with a green variant!
