Hi Raif, I found some more information for you, first of all the name of the regiment, in 1702 it was commanded by Colonel Thomas Fairfax and on 5th February 1704 it past on to Colonel Thomas Pierce.

I've just ordered 10 Hanoverian wss flag's from Stuart of Maverick flags.

There were Light gun's at Blenheim 24 x 3pdrs (16 of which were from the English train), but these were spread over the entire allied frontage stretching from Ble...
