Don't be ashamed for the uniform dress of the Savannah figthers: a soldier <b>need</b> a new uniform each year. They are wearing their uniforms (only 2-3 per soldiers, in backpack or with regimental baggages) every days , in every seasons. In garnison in Antillas, the soldiers can find tailors using the rightfull regulations, but probably not after them landing in the US. During the years of campaing, they are more probably wearing differents sorts of trousers (white, if they can find some)and pre-1779 waistcoast whith scares ans patches. After 1781 and the more regular support, the situation can turn better (1779 style). <br />For the flag, howether, there is no doubt about the purple color. The Regiment du Gatinais was created by a transfer (batallions n°2 ant n°4) of the Regiment d'Auvergne, in 1762. As for every occurance of this kind of regimental creation, the flag of the new (son) regiment is obtained by mixing the colors of the previous (father) regiment, purple and black for the Regiment d'Auvergne (uniform withe and purple too).<br /><br />The members of the Regiment du Gatinais were ashamed by losing the rank status of the Regiment d'Auvergne (almost based on order of creation). At Yorktown, prior the assault on the redoubts, they are claiming to Rochambeau "Rendez nous Auvergne!" ("Bring us back Auvergne"). That was absolutly impossible, disturbing the the regimental organisation (too much batalions), and even the Army organisation (jealousys for the status and the money by the others regiments commanders). After the courageous assault, the King himself pay them attention, and in 1783, the Regiment du Gatinais become "Royal-Auvergne", and as "Royal" regiment, overank the Regiment d'Auvergne.<br /><br />You can find some informations on flags at:<br />http://www.drapeaux.org/Accueil.htm<br /><br />Enjoy the game!Sherkhannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-6507375423241231482011-11-17T14:16:34.138+00:002011-11-17T14:16:34.138+00:00Ok Giles,it came up really nice.
