These are the colours carried by the Duke of Norfolk's Regiment (later the 12th Foot) in 1686. We do not know exactly what colours they carried in the War of the Spanish Succession but flags from this regiment were captured by the French in 1695 and are very different from these. They may represent a pattern carried as late as the WSS and I shall eventually depict them too.
In 1686 the uniform was red lined white with blue breeches and stockings.
Full details of the history of the regiment and its service can be found on the Kronoskaf website here:

Lovely and simple designs, well executed as always Daivd:). Funny to see the went 'South' to become thr East suffolks after their former patronage.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. :-) Yes, a fair number of regiments in that period seemed to wander about a lot depending on their "patrons". Sorry to be slow replying to your comment; have not been well this week.
