Standards of the English Queen's Horse (Later 1st Dragoon Guards) 1693 as captured by the French and depicted in the Triomphes Louis XIV

The Triomphes images do not show a damask cloth but I am presuming that the originals almost certainly were of damask so I have depicted them with a subtle damask background. Full details of the regiment's history in this period can be found on the Kronoskaf WSS site here: https://kronoskaf.com/wss/index.php?title=Queen%27s_Regiment_of_Horse

  1. Beautifully done as always David:). With the smaller scales, bright colours and simple designs do stand out more when on the table, so these are just the ticket!

    1. Thank you, Steve. :-) Yes, I do often wonder how much detail will be lost on some of the elaborate flags, especially cavalry standards, with the smaller scales of troops. And sorry to be slow getting your comment on the blog and replying; Real Life has been a distinct pain so far this year...

      All the best,

      David.
