ECW REGIMENTAL COLOURS

[PLG]

Hi

I hope this is the correct place to post this.

Having procudeced a couple of ECW busts, and having a few more in the pipline I have been researching the regimental colours of the two sides in the English Civil War.

At this time there was very little in the way of a uniform. Troops were supplied with coats of a regimental colour, where the colour was usually at the discretion of the Commanding Officer. officers often wore civilian clothes with a sash of the regimental colour.

With a limited number of colours available, the same colours were used by both sides - often during the same battle!

I have loaded onto my website under 'usefull stuff' a schedule of the main regiments and their colours.

This is obviously aimed at those who buy my English Civil War busts, but hopefully painters of other ECW figures will find it handy.

Thank you for contributing this Peter. Not my era, but I am sure those who paint ECW figures and bust will find it useful. Always good to have references on little known subjects.

Hi Peter

Nice information , good to have it on the site .

Perhaps reword it to read Regimental Coats Colours .....as to me at least it reads it might be about the actual colours/Flags .....just a thought

Looking forward to the next release from Sarnia

PS are you adding a tab for reviews and customer versions of the releases on the website ?

Hi Nap

Good point. I had nto read it that way, but now you pointed it out it does read like that. I will re-word the title.

Yes, I will be adding a gallery for customers versions.

Regards
