British contingent at Minden
Image from Osprey Men-at-Arms №460 - Frederick the Great’s Allies 1756–63 Remember folks when painting British redcoats 1745-63 that they didn't wear white gaiters on campaign - yes Barry Lyndon isn't correct - should be brown or grey.

I'm busy painting these guy's at the moment, I've painted white gaiters
