Uniforms and flag information sought
I am trying to find an order of battle for the Dutch Army which landed in 1688 at Torbay. I also am looking for coat/ facing colours and flags. I have tried in vain in my books and on line. Can you help?
Blogger Ralphus said... OK had some answers Dannie Fogleman For uniforms and flags, you can try Barry Hilton’s pdfs on the armies at the Boyne and Aughrim. https://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/shop/
Nick Dorrell There is an article on this in the Pike & Shot Society's magazine 'Arquebusier', Volu XXXV - IV. Also included is a breakdown of James II's army and a 'what if' wargames scenario - the battle of Salisbury Plains - for the Twilight of the Sun King rules.

I managed to dig out that edition of Arquebusier, will get busy with the scanner, then maybe we can arrange to email. It looks a pretty detailed list of units, though maybe not of standards, uniforms etc.. good stuff anyway!
Have you asked these guys?
