WSS: Régiment de Saintonge

The next addition to my War of the Spanish Succession French army is the Régiment de Saintonge.  Originally raised in 1684 it fought as part of the Marquis de Bligny's brigade (along with the Régiment de Champagne) in Oberglau during the Battle of Blenheim.




The figures are Black Hat and the flag is from Warflag.

    1. Thanks Ray - it's always nice to be able to brighten up one of the French units with a colourful flag isn't it?
