Wurttemburg Infantry Colours

by Dave Blake


I am hope someone can clear up my confusion over Wurttemberg flags.

Rawkins, in his work on the army, suggests that in 1806 an order was made to replace colours with a new pattern; that this did not happen until May 26th 1811 and that all units were without flags between these dates.

But I am certain that I have seen mention of the 1807 pattern Royal colours being carried by one or both battalions before 1813.

Any ideas?
