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!

 

Flag of Dutch French Huguenot Infantry Regiment Lislemarais 1702-?1722

I have other flags whose texts I still need to write but I am intrigued by the Huguenot exile regiments so...

First raised 1702; the Colonel was Henry de Bois Billaud de Montaciel, Chevalier de Lislemarais

One battalion strong

The flag is based on Robert Hall's version of August Kühn's reconstruction (source unknown) which stated that Huguenot flags were black with white crosses and the emblems of the country that raised the regiment.

And by request from several people I have produced an entirely speculative all-white Colonel's flag:

 

 

I may do my own versions of the (unknown) flags of the three Huguenot regiments raised by William III for service against the Jacobites in Ireland.

Service:

1702 Defence of Hulst
1703 Siege of Limberg
1706 Siege of Ostend; 1 killed and 3 wounded
1706 To Spain
1707 Battle of Almansa and made prisoner
1710 Returned to Flanders
1711 Siege of Bouchain

And the uniform in 1703 was like this:
