Hello, I am looking for information on the uniforms of the Torçay and Viçouse regiments. Both regiments fought on the Austracist side in the War of the Spanish Succession. If anyone has information you can write to my email: web@modeljship.com Thank you in advance :) |

There is scant mention of them in Grants book of the period. e.g. 1,100 Huguenot infantry. No uniform details. |
