I painted up two squadrons of King James' Lifeguard for the Battle of the Boyne 1690. Here's a link to the flag I used.

Is William III's Life Guards flag very didifferent from the James II's?

I'm painting a William III army and cannot find a flag for this unit.

Does anyone have a picture of this flag?

Thanks, Mark
