At the beginning of the campaign, and once the troops were mounted, Dover took the 1st Troop of Lifeguards, whilst Berwick took the 2nd Troop. Possibly around this time (if not earlier) John Parker moved from the Horse Grenadiers to command his own regiment.

Greg, I think I misinterpreted you - my comment about the "rights" was in the event of anyone reproducing the articles not an indexed list of where they can be found.

By that I me...

Ray, as Clare's were one of the original "tranche" of units raised, I'd have gone for red coats and yellow distinctions. The thing (IMHO) to stay well clear of is this whole "yellow coat" fiasco. AFAIK the only "evidence" for a yellow coat is a painting owned by Harman Murtagh which he includes in h...

Unfortunately what happened is they were "presented" to the crown and either left to rot or destroyed. There are a large number of hints out there as to what/why/when but more often than not they end up as dead ends, that's what takes the time. One day though, one day....
