"Colors" Topic

Can anyone tell me the facing colours of the Hanoverian regiments that fought in the Jacobite Revolt?
Thank you.

The '15 or the '45?

For the '45 Chadwick gives predominantly blue, with yellow being the next most common, a few green and buff, then various oters usually represented by a single regiment.

Thanks Dave.
The '45. Can you point me to specifically which regiment had which facing colour?

Will do.

If you don't have the the two Jacobite sourcebooks for V&B contain quite a lot of useful information, including a nice campaign based on the '45. They are available from Old Glory.

Here is a quick summary:

Blue: 1 Grenadier Guards, 2 Coldstream Guards, 3 (Scots) Guards, 1 St Claires' Royals, 4 Barrels, 8 Wolfe's, 18 Mordaunt's, 21 Campbells Fusiliers, 23 Huske's Fusiliers

Yellow: 6 Guise's, 12 Skelton's/Durore's (lt yellow), 13 Pulteney's (mustard), 14 Price's (lt yellow), 16 Handasyde's, 20 Bligh's Fusiliers, 25 Sempill's, 28 Bragg's, 34 Cholmondeley's, 37 Munro's/DeJean's, 55 Lee's, 57 Murray's, 62 Battereau's

Buff: 3 G. Howard's Buffs, 27 Blackeney's, 31 Beaclerk's, 43 Murray's Highland, 59 Ligonier's/Conway's

Green: 11 Sowle's, 24 Houghton's (dk green), 36 Flemming's, 39 Ritchbell's

Red: 33 Johnson's

White: 32 Skelton's/Doulas's, 58 Lascelle's

This should get you started and is just a taster of the information in Chadwick's books.

Dave, mille grazie.
