According to George Nafziger, Mariusz T. Wesolowski & Tom Defoe's "Poles and Saxons of the Napoleonic Wars" page 191 the Prinz Clemens Uhlans were reported in 1812 to have lance pennants of red and white as well as green & red. The text also says white over green but it is not crystal clear from the text whether it is for 1813 or 1815. Just to complicate the picture W J Rawkins has in 1814 the lance pennon issued to the first rank was blue over red and then sky blue over white in 1815! He also has green over red in 1811 though some changed their pennons to red over white in 1812. |

To add to the mix – Philip Haythornthwaite & Michael Chappell "Uniforms of the Retreat from Moscow" has "….carried light green over red pennons (one source shows red over white). An article by Alexander Baden has for 1812 has red over white. "Die Sachsische Armee von 1763 bis 1862" has in 1813 red over blue and in July 1815 white over green. |
