I've been looking through "Eagles over the Alps" for the names of the Russian infantry regiments, which I found. However, when I go to the GMB Russian flag site, none of the names listed in the book can be found on his site. Did the infantry name change (which is always possible)? I'd like to paint up those units and have the right flags, but I'd also like to have confidence that the flags I use are reasonably correct. I know for this period and specifically for this area, finding reasonable information is difficult. Thank you in advance for your help. |

At that time Russian Pauline infantry were known by their Shef/Oberst names. Courtesy of much-missed Le Breton: Schveikovsky Musketeer Regiment = Smolenskiy mushketerskiy polk = Smolensk musketeer regiment
Förster Musketeer Regiment = Tambovskiy mushketerskiy polk = Tambov musketeer regiment
Tyrtov Musketeer Regiment = Tul'skiy mushketerskiy polk = Tula musketeer regiment
Baranovsky Musketeer Regiment = Nizovskiy mushketerskiy polk = Niz musketeer regiment
Rosenberg Grenadier Regiment = Moskovskiy grenaderskiy polk = Moscow grenadier regiment
Jung-Baden Musketeer Regiment = Butyrskiy mushketerskiy polk = Butyrka musketeer regiment
Dalheim Musketeer Regiments = Arkhangelogorodskiy mushketerskiy polk = Archangel musketeer regiment
Miloradovich Musketeer Regiment = Apsheronskiy mushketerskiy polk = Apsheron musketeer regiment TMP 2017 – Suvorovs Infantry Standards 1799-ish |

Are you looking for standards for using with miniatures?? |

Stoppage,
Thank you for the information. I'll compare this to what is on the GMB site. And yes, I plan on using the standards with miniatures for gaming purposes. |

Thank you all for your help. Now, how about uniform information for the Russians in Italy? Can you point me to a site? On Edit: I may have found something from the previous discussions in TMP. But any further information you can recommend will be greatly appreciated. |

@18th Century Guy, Very useful download for Vladimir Vladimirovich Zvegintsov work covering the Russian Army 1796-1800. Although main text is in Russian, text (names of regiments etc) under coloured in illustrations towards the latter part are in both Russian & French. link |

Essling, Thank you for the link to that information. The coloured illustrations are very good and very helpful! |

@18th Century Guy, Glad that was of use. I have now uploaded two extracts from the French Tradition Magazine with useful coloured illustrations:
Russians in Switzerland 1799 link
Russian infantry at Zurich 1799 link
and from a Russian book an extract covering infantry from 1796-1801 (sorry text is in cyrillic) link Enjoy Ian |
