Would some one be kind enough to post a picture of the uniform for the Spanish Irelanda Regt.? A web search only came up with Pincrest photos but the uniforms were not labeled so I was not sure who was who. Also, the Portuguese Royal Police were use for what? Line infantry? Guards for supply dumps? What was their uniform? Thank you in advance for your help. |

GB, 1. Regimento de Infanterķa de Irlanda as present in the Seven Years war (uniform and flag details/drawings included) link 2. Of course, regiment went from 1688 to 1818 so you can Google for the right period. Use either the English or Spanish name and maybe add the war you are interested in. 3. To exclude pinterest, just add "-pinterest" to your search. You can exclude an "unlimited" number of words and phrases to further remove irrelevant stuff. 4. To look more broadly at (maybe) all Irish Units in the Spanish Army, a good start is link Erin go Bragh y Buenos Dias, FPR |

Irlanda Regiment link Some sources have facings more buff than yellow. |

Yellow is always a problem with natural dyes and fades quickly in strong sunlight. The yellow was not a vivid yellow. More information can be found in our book on Spanish infantry.

Further to the Royal Guard of the Police question, as I recall the Royal Guard of the Police in Portugal were tasked to maintain public order – so not line troops but I could see them guarding lines of communication and supply depots link |

'Yellow is always a problem with natural dyes and fades quickly in strong sunlight. The yellow was not a vivid yellow. More information can be found in our book on Spanish infantry.' Which is an excellent 'one stop shop' for the Spanish Army of the period. But a vivid yellow looks much nicer… :) |
