Progress in research on the Swiss regiments in the service of Philip V, including their uniforms, organisation, and deployment.

Great research and info for the wargamer indeed, as usual thank you! quite unsual to see a Swiss Regt in white/grey coat instead of the typical red ! Cheers |

Takeda: you are right. But for this regiment I did find specific info it wore grey uniform, being from Grisoni. Consider that later on (since end 1706) the Swiss regiments under Felipe V wore blue uniforms and not red. Quite a history |
