I'm looking for info and images about the standards carried by France, Prussia, and the Prussian German Allies in the Franco-Prussian War. Also, which battalions / squadrons of the Regiment carried them. And for the BN / SQDN that didn't carry the standard, what if anything did they carry? Thanks! |

For the French the second battalion carried the regimental eagle. First and third line regiment battalions carried a porte fanion standard. One was yellow and one white and red at a diagonal if I recall correctly. |

yes, it is white OVER red from the pole, thanks Perris! Took a while, but I got the answer. In this case from Bruce Weigle of "1870" rules fame. |

This might help with German flags.
