I went for a red coat with red cuffs and kept the flag as red. The 1st Squadron's flag has the JR cypher while the second has the coat of arms for the name Sutherland.
The regt fought at both The Boyne and at Aughrim. At the Boyne they were under the Command of Major-General Dominic Sheldon and were on the right wing wing of the Jacobite lines along with The Duke of Berwick's troop of Lifeguard's, Tyrconnell's Horse and Parker's Horse.
Along with the regts mentioned Sutherland's fought bravely at the Boyne, holding up the whole Williamite advance for half an hour, and at the end only had around 30 men left.
King James said of the regts
Very nice, Ray! In this period how many troopers would be in an average cavalry regiment?
ReplyDelete180 Curt!
Delete26 officers, 180 troopers exactly Curt.....
DeleteThis is one of the smaller regts from the perios at only 6 troops totalling 210 men in all, compared to say Purcell's Horse who had 12 troops totalling 462 men.
DeleteThis regiment was one of the smallest.....
DeleteI know quite a lot about this period as Ray bores me to tears about it all the time.
DeleteThank you, both Fran and Ray! You are both scholars and gent-... Well, you're both scholars, yup, for sure.

Another excellent unit and the red fairly plausible for these Oirish rebels :-)
ReplyDeleteYou trying to do the period on a one to one basis !?
Somehow you manage to complete units in the time it takes for me to complete single figures. Well done mate, always good to see your figures!
ReplyDeleteAs always a nice unit,so only about 20 units to go. Should be all over by Christmas ;-)
