Those who follow my posts will have noticed that I am rapidly expanding my uniformological research into the French troops deployed in the salient between the Dora River and the Po during the Siege of Turin and the battle that followed. I avoided putting that in the title, otherwise I might have been banned. I am joking, of course.
My research now draws on several different books and sources, which I compare and cross-reference. Then one comes across a regiment such as this, and a problem arises: how should one proceed when very little information survives?
For this regiment, I was able to identify both its ordonnance flag and the coat of arms of the family that owned it, whose colours corresponded with those of the flag. The reasoning I then followed in order to develop a plausible uniformological reconstruction, rather than leaving a complete blank, is explained on my blog. It is based on specific and logical patterns, although, like everything in life, it remains open to criticism.
Nevertheless, I am very pleased with the result, and I particularly like this reconstruction of an officer of the regiment.
Open to critics.
