Free flags for the NYW, Erle's, (19th foot) and The Earl of Derby's (16th foot)

I've been busy making some new flags for my NYW/League of Augsburg figures. There's no recorded flags for these 2 regiments, so I took my best guess, the regiments are Erle's, what would become the 19th foot and the Earl of Derby's regt which would become the 16th foot. Both regiments fought at the battles of Steenkirke and Landen (Neerwinden). The designs are taken from the coat of arms for the names Erle or Earl and Stanley the family name of the Earl's of Derby. Please feel free to copy them and use them for your units if you so wish. Comment welcome.

Erle's regt.

Earl of Derby's regt.

Mackay’s Regiment Flag

On my workbench at the moment sits a half painted unit for my British army for the Nine Years War. Mackay’s Regiment. I needed a break from painting, my neck was killing me, so I moved onto the units flag, which like most for the period, is not known. I liked the look of the flag used by Barry on the League of Augsburg site, Link it looks like a flag used by the Stuart’s of Atholl in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, so I used that idea. For the second flag I used a Scottish saltire white on blue and added a coat of arms for the name Mackey, I think it looks quite effective. But for the total purists among you, it my cause a nosebleed, sorry!


If you want to paint the unit up and have no flag, copy this one with my best wishes.

Hugh Mackay’s regiment was part of the Anglo-Dutch brigade and fought at the following battles:

Killiecrankie 1689, Aughrim 1691, Leuze 1691, Steenkerque 1692 where Hugh Mackay was killed, Landen/Neerwinden 1693 & Namur 1695.
