I know nothing of such things but imagine that this would be a parade religious item, like an icon.The banners are more for the field I suspect.Summerfield will tell us. See his book! |

Very Nice. These are your guys so you use whatever banner you want! I think it looks great. Besides , history is always muddled so who knows. |

Thanks all for your feedback. The banner isn't sold as a Russian Lifeguard Cossacks its a Byzantine banner. I did originally intend to use the religious iconic banner for a Moscow Militia vignette but I just enjoyed painting the lifeguard Cossacks I wanted to see if I could construct the banner and cross. The Lifeguard Cossacks like all the Russian Military during Napoleons invasion were using any relevant propaganda to motivate the troops and population. |
