"Saxon fanions Empires Eagles and Lions" Topic

So, this is a long time ago. in EE&L.

There was an article about fanions carried by saxon regiments in addition to the flags in 1806.

Does anyone have access to it/know what I am talking about?

I believe it detailed the size, that they were the color of the regiments facings and don't remember the device on them.

Thanks for any help.

Do you remember, was it in the digest size, or full magazine size? Would narrow my search. There used to be a regular column "just when you thought it was safe…Saxons!"

I have most of the digest size EE&L, like Valmy92 said narrowing it down would be helpful.

There was a Note on Saxon fanions in issue 78 p. 21.

Thanks JonFreitag – paraphrased from EEL:

Yes though information is hard to find. For line infantry regiments Fanion piece of white "silf" (?? mistype and perhaps should read "silk"?) and another piece in the regiments facing colour. Sorry cannot paste an image – but example shown is for "Prinz Friedrich August" top half white with green lettering "Prinz"; bottom half green with white lettering "Friedrich August". Fanion measured 1.6 metres in width, whilst the fly would have been 1 metre. all lettering in Gothic German.

Only documented fanion for 1806 period for the "von Polenz" chevaulegers. Top portion light blue, bottom portion red with light blue ettering "von Polenz". No sizes quoted – the fanion cam to a single point……..

for 1806 – those fanions as von Polenz Chevaulegers are camp fanions so that each regiment could find the camp layout, I cannot believe the huge size for Prinz Friedrich August – later in 1810 fanions as for the French infantry as company fanions, attached to a stick placed in the barrel of a musket were used.

Rechecked EEL – size of infantry fanion is as stated above, but like vW I do agree it does sound rather large, so wonder if it is centre of the regiment's camp marker rather than a fanion? By the way vW excellent picture.

von Winterfield. That is the sorry-ist looking horse I have ever seen in Napoleonic history. I think the general is explaining how to turn him into dog food.
