This regiment was first raised in 1701; in 178 its colonel changed to GM Carl Ernst Johann von Bose, and it was thence known as Musketeer Regiment von Bose.
The regimental uniform had white collar, cuffs, lapels, waistcoats, and breeches.
Drummer's uniforms had yellow lace with a narrow red stripe, and the drum hoops were red and white with a narrow blue stripe.
The regimental flag is by Flags of War. I actually think I have accidentally reversed the flags between this unit and Musketeer regiment . Considering the small difference between white and paille, I don't think I will worry about it!
The regiment fought at the battles of Forts Clinton and Montgomery, Connecticut Farms, Springfield, Guilford Courthouse, Green Springs, and Yorktown.
These are Perry figures once again.
After the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, General Lord Cornwallis wrote the the regiment "deserves my warmest praises for its discipline, alacrity, and courage...".
Yes, this regiment has a re-enactor group.
Hmm, I may have to try adding that red line to the drummer's lace!

Lovely work, very nice addition, your project continues at a cracking pace!
