Frédéric Aubert French Army in Germany 1757-1762

 ''That's it !!

I've finally finished the bundle of plates showing flags and uniforms for the entire French Army in Germany between 1757 and 1762.
This is a HUGE bundle of 85 plates.
The result of extensive researches over many years...
The 85 plates bring together the flags and uniforms of all the infantry and cavalry regiments that made up the French Army which fought in Germany during the Seven Years' War. 399 flags and 278 uniforms in total !

All the regiments having been in Germany during the Seven Years War are represented, with uniform and flags. Artillery is also represented.
For cavalry flags, unfortunately there is no source specifically for the period of the Seven Years' War, so I have decided to show known flags for the years 1753 and 1772, if any difference.
Even the provincial militia regiments are shown, with their flag, as well as the epaulettes for the Grenadiers Royaux.
85 plates, showing 399 flags and 278 uniforms in total.
Here is the detail per type of units:
- Guard: 3 plates, 13 flags, 11 uniforms
- Infantry: 27 plates, 186 flags, 102 uniforms
- Artillery: 2 plates, 4 flags, 2 uniforms, 8 cannons
- Militias: 4 plates, 40 flags, 5 uniforms
- Gendarmerie: 4 plates, 16 flags, 16 uniforms
- Cavalry: 28 plates, 98 flags, 72 uniforms
- Hussars: 1 plate, 3 flags, 3 uniforms
- Dragons: 7 plates, 18 flags, 25 uniforms
- Light Troops: 9 plates, 21 flags, 42 uniforms


I hope you'll enjoy these plates.''

  2. Excellent source of information, I have copied the links over to the Fire and Drum forum. Helping to reach more like minded devotees of the SYW.
