I have begun work on my first regiment for my Dutch. I chose Dalrymple and am fairly near completed except I am not sure how their fusilier caps should look. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

I have seen a copy of the Wagner plates and the fusilier cap is described on there as a " "Grenadier" mutzen". The illustration shows a small Dutch Grenadier type cap with a low front plate, yellow in colour with 2 red lions on. The back is red with a small red hanging bag with a yellow tassle. The back trim around the headband on the bag is also in yellow.

The illustration also shows the Fusilier, NCO, Officer and Drummers coat colours as well as the flag which is simply a St Andrews Cross.

I'm sure someone else out there will have another take on this so I hope you can find one you like or think should be right.

Duh, should be Dutch not Danish of course

. I just saw that

.

Anyway, thanks for the help Rob. Condray calls for reversed colors for the drummer and I assume the officers/nco would be as the men; red with white cuffs.

I will post some pictures in the painting section when I get them completed. Thanks.

Giogio,
It doesn't seem to indicate they didn't and other plates it does show a difference if it's there so I would suggest they may have worn the Fusilier cap. However I would also say the Officers could well have worn the Tricorn to show they had rank.

Cheers
Rob
