RP No 138 NYW Tiffin's foot regt

Zachariah Tiffin was commissioned by William III to raise the regiment on 20th June 1689 for the defence of the town of Enniskillen Co Fermanagh, from the Catholic army of James II. Recruiting was not difficult because independent companies already existed in the area. These amalgamated and formed the corps of the regt. In July 1690 Tiffin's regiment fought at the Boyne and In 1691 the regiment was at the Battle of Aughrim. In early 1695 the regiment  was in West Flanders and were present at the Siege of Namur.

The Tiffin regiment survived the 1699 disbanding’s by being on the Irish establishment. On 1 July 1702 the Tiffin regiment was in the Leeward Islands. On 29 August 1702 Thomas Whetham succeeded Zachary Tiffin as colonel of the regiment.

As per usual the figures are from Essex, bases from Warbases and the flags are pure conjecture and made by me.

RP No 137 NYW Danish Sehested's Horse

Jens Maltesen Sehested was born in Stravanger in 1649. He was the Colonel of one of the three Danish Horse units present at the battle of the Boyne and led them later in Flanders. A report of the commanding General in  Norway in approx 1710 describes him as " a harmless old fellow who can, when necessary take charge of a squadron, but no more" Nevertheless he served with distinction against the Swedes in 1716. He died with the rank of Lieutenant-General in 1730.
An Allied camp roster from July 1696 shows the Danish Cavalry regt von See (earlier Sehested's) shows the coat and facing colour of unit white lined blue. I decided on a light grey coat lined blue. The flags were inspired by Clarence and Barry's Warfare flags. There has been a lot of chat on the League of Augsberg forum as to if the Danish Horse wore a breastplate. Its been agreed by the experts that they most probably did. I've used Cuirassier's as the command for these units, while the men are just the normal Essex figures.
At the recent re-enactment of the Boyne, they didn't make it into contact, stopping in the middle ofthe river unable or was it unwilling to cross????
