9YW English Flag question

Post by yar68 » Sat Apr 10, 2010 2:14 am

I'm painting up an English army for the Battles of Landen & Steenkirk.
I cannot find any info on the flags of the following 2 regiments, Prince George of Hessen-Darmstadt/Marquis de Rada's regt, which would later become the 6th foot & Lutterell/Erle's regt which later became the 19th.
Could anyone give me any info?

One of the great things about this period is that you can use artistic license. Standing armies were just coming into being. Why not give Lutterell's a flag with St. Georges Cross on it and give the Hessen-Darmstadt Regiment a flag with the coat of arms of Prince George.
