wouldn't they have the Prince of Wale's feathers in there, somehwere? |
| M C MonkeyDew | 04 Mar 2014 5:42 p.m. PST |
Well done!
You should model them without the King's Colour to depict the events in "Sharpe's Eagle"! Bob |

@Cardinal – I was thinking of doing another set with the feathers. Please hold caller. UPDATE: Done. Should the feathers be on the King's Colours as well? link Well done!

I like a winning Regiment:) |

It has the "Eagle in chains", and is for a yellow facing regiment, so looks good to me.
However, it is too "busy". I would lose the small Eagles in chains from the quadrants.
And, yes. I would put the Prince of Wales feathers and "Ich Dien" on the King's colour as well. It's an Upgrade! 
Col Simmerson has a busy seamstress handy. |

And what Roman Numerals should there be? Paul :) |

A number of regiments had the Prince of Wales' Feathers positioned just above the Union Wreath, like these militia flags:

Jeez I had forgotten how many button counters there are in this hobby :-) Modifications will be made as suggested above..….but I had better do some work and earn some money first. |

G'day Brian. Great work here! The only thing that I can see that needs amending is to include the St Patrick's cross to the union segment of the regimental flag. The union segment that is currently included is the pre- 1801 Union Jack. Keep up the good work! |
| Woolshed Wargamer | 04 Mar 2014 8:34 p.m. PST |
God Save Ireland! You are right! Changes made – new versions uploaded :) I have retained the busy nature of the flag by keeping the smaller eagles in the corners. link |
| Cardinal Hawkwood | 04 Mar 2014 9:28 p.m. PST |
The feathers behind the eagle? |
| D A THB | 04 Mar 2014 10:04 p.m. PST |
Thanks Brian, they look good. |

I have done a lot of flags over the years. They look OK when printed out, and from wargaming distance of three feet you don't really see the pixelation. My Loamshire flags are home printed. |

Was the "Prince of Wales" title only conferred several books into the series? I can't remember now. |
| Edwulf | 05 Mar 2014 7:23 a.m. PST |
I thought they got the Prince Of Wales Own Volunteers title in 1813, Sharpes Regiment.
I think their regimental number would be 105th or 106th. 104th was the last historical numbered unit so in the Sharpe Universe these would be free. A fictional Fusileer unit is also present in Sharpes Enemy so it think one would be the 105th and one the 106th. |

Looks nice but I would still lose the small eagles in the corners – too French! |
Roderick Robertson  | 05 Mar 2014 9:07 a.m. PST |
The 106th is the regiment in Adrian Goldsworthy's _True Soldier Gentlemen_ (and following books). |
| CaptainKGL | 06 Mar 2014 3:12 p.m. PST |
Brian, Nice work on all of the flags. Since it is a fictional situation I think any combo you go with his good. I like a winning regiment also. |
| trailape | 06 Mar 2014 3:22 p.m. PST |
Looks great!
Didn't another company actually make a version of this flag for sale?
IIRC it was a Yellow Regimental with an eagle attempting to fly with a chain around a leg / talon? |
| bc1745 | 06 Mar 2014 10:37 p.m. PST |
I think Redoubt Enterprises do a set in their Body's Banners section…….there was a 95th Rifles camp marker on the same sheet |
| Sparker | 07 Mar 2014 12:05 a.m. PST |
I like a winning regiment also. You'd have loved the 2nd Battalion The Wessex Regiment (Volunteers) then – we won every  ing thing going! |
| dibble | 07 Mar 2014 5:55 a.m. PST |
I think it would have to be CXXXVI(136th), as there were 135 listed regiments with the 135th (Limerick) Regiment of foot being the last. Most of the regiments starting from the 101st (Irish then Duke of Yorks Irish) Regiment of Foot were disbanded after a year or so. The 105th (Leeds Volunteers) and 106th (Norfolk Rangers)had already been used so Edwulf's suggestion seems to be out of the question I would have thought that the colours would still have been the standard type. For instance, The 87th Prince of Wales Own Irish regiment of Foot, the Regiment that captured the eagle of the 8th Regiment of the Line at the Battle of Barrosa.
The 30th and 44th captured the eagles of the 22nd and 62nd respectively
The 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers, also 'captured' the eagle of the 82nd Regiment on Martinique All those colours were not emblazoned with French eagles and I definitely could not see the design being put on the Kings Colour. Paul :) |
| Edwulf | 07 Mar 2014 9:22 p.m. PST |
Leeds volunteers disbanded in 1795. so in 1807/8 when the South Essex are raised then 105th would be vacant. And while the books are fictional they are pretty clear that the South Essex colors and regimental badge incorporate the captured Eagle. |
| KaweWeissiZadeh | 08 Mar 2014 3:40 a.m. PST |
Excellent, thanks for sharing. Is there a High-res version too? |
| dibble | 08 Mar 2014 1:18 p.m. PST |
Leeds volunteers disbanded in 1795. so in 1807/8 when the South Essex are raised then 105th would be vacant. Err! but there was no 105th (South Essex) Regiment of Foot. Perhaps they could be seen as one of those regiments that were activated for a few years but never numbered. Paul:) |
