Does anyone know anything about this Nassau flag?
It is from a series of plates at the Netherlands Nationaal Militair Museum .
The soldier appears to be from the 1st Regt. and the other plates in the series look quite accurate but the flag is nothing like the standard yellow one normally attributed to the Nassau troops.

Thanks for any info. |

how shure are you that the yellow flag is correct? What is the source of the yellow flag? |

From the same plate series, a bit faded but yellow.

And the still existing flag of the 3rd Bn/ 2nd Nassau captured at Waterloo:

All the reference books I have show the yellow one for both regiments. :) |
