The figures are from Essex once again, the flags are by myself and I'll post them soon!

  1. Fantastic Ray! A super regiment - my favourite of all the Jacobite forces at the Boyne. Is there a better flag in the whole of the Williamite Wars? Henry Fitzjames, Baron Romney - was he from your neck of the woods, then? As ever, you've done these brave lads proud!
