WSS French Cav lance colors
Hello all,
Does anyone what color the lances of the WSS French cav color bearers are? I know the French infantry carried blue or white flag poles.
Any help is appreciated! |

Hi there! Not sure about infantry flagpoles being blue or white. possibly some were, but all my other sources show natural wood. Have a look at this source: link I assume mounted troops had wood coloured too, but have far less source material for them. Hope this helps? |

If by lance you mean the standard or flag pole then the color was usually the same as the standard/flag color. Otherwise go with blue or plain wood. |

Yes 18th Cnetury Guy that is exactly what I meant, sorry for any confusion.
herkybird thanks for the link! I got the flag pole colors from the Robert Hall CD on French infantry. |
