Hessian Infantry Regiments 1783

 


While searching the internet I found this site from Hesse Germany.  There were a number of illustrations of Hessian regiments who had served in America 1776 to 1783.  These appear to have been done post 1783.  But the uniform and flag details should be if great interest to miniature wargamers.The site is at:

  2. What wonderful illustrations! Lately, I too have been reading up on the various German contingents that served in the AWI, but information about their standards is not always easy to come by. Any info. on those of the Anhalt-Zerbst and Waldeck regiments?

    Best Regards,

  4. This is a great resource Mark. I came across something very similar on Dutch uniforms of WSS. I copied and pasted it all onto a Word doc but at some point lost that...went back to the link (which I had saved in favourites) and it didn't work any more....

    1. I do not know how many similar items I have lost over the years. Nice thing about the blog is I can book mark it an save it. And it is around for others to share.

  5. Brilliant! I found a similar site a few years ago. It had the same illustrations but not the complete set as here. Being old fashioned I printed it off, which is just as well because it seemed to disappear soon after. This is not only very useful but timely as I currently have my Hinchliffe Von Bose on order. 👍
