Nos. 10 and 11 illustrate the only two colors from the province of Gelderland in the Triomphes. Two Gelderland regiments became prisoners of war when Namur surrendered to the French in October 1746, Brockhuysen and Randwyck.

10. A white Field in the corners light gray clouds with gold lightning bolts. In the top center the coat-of-arms of Gelderland; a shield, halved, on die left a gold lion on a medium blue field and on the right a black lion on a gold field; a gold crown lined red with red and blue stones in its base; two golden lions as supporters standing on a straw colored base. Below the coat-of-arms a gray lamb on a straw background, and below this a golden ribbon without inscription.

11. A white Field in the corners silver suits of armor and golden branches. In the center the coat-of-arms of Gelderland (see No. 10). Above the coat-of-arms a golden ribbon without inscription.

Nos. 12 thru 18 represent die colors of regiments from the province of Utrecht.

12. Described as captured at Brussels in February 1746. The only Utrecht regiment in the garrison was IR de Guy. This is probably the Principal Color of that regiment. A white field with yellow corner flames edged in red. In the upper, inner corner a black grenade with grayish-white smoke. In the center the coat-of-arms of the province of Utrecht: a shield, quartered; upper left and lower right quarters are red with a white cross, upper right and lower left quarters are gold with a red lion. The small smaller center shield is halved diagonally, upper right is white and lower left is red. The lion supporters are gold as is the crown which is lined red. Beneath the coat-of-arms is a blue ribbon with the inscription CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CPESCUNT in gold. The wreath is gold and tied together by a blue ribbon.

13. Also taken at Brussels in February 1746. Probably the Second Color of IR deGuy. A red Field with white corner flames edged in black. In die upper, inner corner the coat-of-arms of Utrecht (see No. 12). In the center a black grenade with grayish-white smoke. The grenade is resting on a green base. Below die base is a white ribbon with the inscription IGNE MINOR PUAM FERNO in gold. The wreath is gold and tied together by a blue ribbon.

14. Probably the principal color of IR Bronckhorst, and was captured when the garrison of Mons of which the regiment was a part surrendered to the French in July 1746. A white field with light red corner flames. In the center the coat-of-arms of Utrecht (see No. 12), two gold lion supporters and a gold crown lined red. Beneath the coat-of-arms a blue ribbon with the inscription (IE MAINTIENDRAY) in gold.

15. Probably the Second Color of IR Bronckhorst and captured at Mons in July 1746. A red Field with white corner flames. In the center the coat-of-arms of Utrecht (see No. 12), golden lions and crown lined red. Beneath a blue ribbon without inscription.

16. Probably IR vanDorth which lost a color at the Battle of Rocour in October 1746. A white Field. In the upper, inner corner the coat-of-arms of Utrecht (see No. 12). In the center an armored arm issuing from a grayish-white cloud. The armor is steel colored with golden bands and rivers. The hand is flesh colored and holds a sword which has a silver blade, and gold hilt and grip. The wreath is gold and tied together by a blue ribbon.

Nos. 17 and 18 cause a bit of a problem. Mr. Bob Clifford attributes these colors to IR vanDorth. I am not sure of his reasons, perhaps because the regiment wore grenadier caps and the grenade is a prominent device on both colors. On the other hand, color No. 16 above, which I attribute to vanDorth, is similar to a color carried by the regiment during the War of Spanish succession. Perhaps these colors are just incomplete copies of the colors Nos. 12 and 13.

17. A white field. In die upper, inner corner a black grenade was grayish white smoke, In the center the coat-of-arms of Utrecht (see no. 12) supported by two golden lions and surmounted by a gold crown lined red and with red and blue stones in its base. A gold wreath tied together by a blue ribbon.

18. A red Field. In the center a black grenade with grayish-white smoke. The grenade is resting on a earth-colored base whose bottom edge is white. A golden wreath tied with a blue ribbon.
