Would they carry a standard? |

No. Standards belonged to "parent" regiments. Even if a company was stripped to form s converged battalion, its nominal standard stayed with the regiment. |

Thanks, that is what I thought but my reference books are currently in storage. Dave |

The exception is Rall's Grenadier Regiment, which did carry standards at least as far as Trenton. It was raised as a grenadier regiment rather than being composed of companies detached from musketeer/fusilier regiments. |

Of course. I forgot about Rall.
Rall is a grenadier REGIMENT, as opposed to a converged battalion. |
