Pg48 (pic2) - Burdocks of Field and Garrison Regiments, 3 Dec 1809 (generally accepted version). Battalions of Garrison Regiments (actual variants).
Pg48 (pic3)- Notes on the colors of Unter Officer sword knots in Army Infantry Regiments (as ordered for the Army Supply 1814).
Pg48 (pic4) - Musketeer from an Infantry Regiment (1812-1815), water color, I.A. Cline, 1815. The burdock on the cover indicates he is one of the Musketeer Companies of the 1st Battalion, however, his sword knot is from a Grenadier Company of the 2nd Bn. His sword knot should be white and not green. This indicates a non-standard uniform showing a variation (or he obtained his sword knot from somewhere else or the artist painted the colors incorrectly).
Pg48 (pic5) - Battalion and Company distinctions for field Infantry from 1811 (demonstrates highlights from the chart below).
