There's another website to look at... http://royalfig.free.fr/index.php?/category/33 I would not put too much faith in that website. There is quite alot that makes me doubtful. The most embarrasing are the duplicates. Jutland and Jyske are the same regiment, yet he treats them as two separate regim...

In the meantime, how reliable do you think this page is? http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/Images/Lieutenant_General_Scholten/Bielke's%20Brigade.jpg The uniforms on that page follow the regulation of 1699 as reported by Torstein Snorrason. Karsten Skjold Peterson has however in his research fo...

From what I can tell all Danish regiments at Blenheim were paid jointly by England and the Netherlands. The Danish contingent was not seperated in regiments solely in English or Dutch pay. The Danish regiments hired to Austria (both infantry and cavalry) fought in Italy and Hungary and they were not...

In 1707 the uniform changed throughout the Army, since the cassock and coat were changed to a more modern surtout (single brested coat) and kamisol (vest). The new coats (surtouts) were also double brested. The Livgarde was first to get them (already in 1702) and it was then followed by the Grenadi...

On that note, I see many give the officers of the Livgarde tils fods reversed coats. Based on this, http://www.thewaroffice.co.uk/Blenheim/DanishUniforms1699-1720.pdf I'm of a mind that they wore standard coats in the field and only used red coats whilst at court. That seems to be Torstein Snorraso...

Of interest on the timing of the introduction of the red/gold Oldenburg sash, a Danish college just sent me this link with a painting of Peder Wessel, a Norwegian-born naval officer, during the GNW: http://forsvaret.dk/ssg/sotraditioner/danskeuniformer/Pages/default.aspx That painting is most likel...

There was no standard colour for Danish officers' sashes until 1732 when red-yellow was adopted. Before then a variety of colours were used by the regiments and none of them are known to have been red-yellow. The Queen's Regiment (Dronningen) had 1702 white sashes and this was probably also the case...

Van Steinbeck would appear to be RR Steinbock (proprietor 1691-8 while in UK = Erik Gustaaf, Graaf van Steinbock - later became RR Oostfriesland and fought in all the major low country campaigns). The colonel of that regiment was actually a Swede and his proper name was Erik Gustaf Stenbock. He was...

Not sure if the flag changed, if so it shouldn´t have been much, I shoose to use a GNW flag for my Scanian War minis...sorry;) There were some differences. In the case of infantry regiments, the company colours of the Scanian War had flaming grenades in the corners, and the white colonel's colour d...

The enlistment patent from 1701 says blue coats with red facings. There is however a source from 1702 (the English envoy Vrigny) who described the coat as white with yellow facings. That could either have been a temporary uniform that they wore until they got their proper uniform or a case of mistak...

While Flemish must be distantly related to Swedish I'm very uncertain when reading certain Swedish texts. Got myself a few excellent books on the GNW but stil looking for some extra info on the internet. I'm not sure if there are any Swedish members here on the forum, but perhaps someone could help...

According to my notes (from various sources) grenadiers were introduced in European armies the following years: 1667 France 1670 Austria 1676 Denmark 1676 Brandenburg 1677 England 1684 Sweden 1685 Spain 1685 Savoy 1704 Russia Temporary grenadiers may have existed before these years. A Swedish encykl...

If you find Friedrich August's advice too difficult for you then another solution to the problem could be to create a new user account. That would mean that you begin from scratch again with a full quota to upload pictures. Many of the pictures you have posted here are however rather unneccesary upl...

Swedish provincial regiments are sometimes known by two variants of their provincial names, either the noun or the adjective form. In this case that would be "Östergötland" (noun) or "Östgöta" I feel obligated to make a little correction in case a Swedish teacher would read this thread! "Östgöta" i...

Swedish provincial regiments are sometimes known by two variants of their provincial names, either the noun or the adjective form. In this case that would be "Östergötland" (noun) or "Östgöta" (adjective). Usually the noun refers to the infantry regiment while the adjective refers to the cavalry reg...
