To supplement my French foot I am starting to add some troops in their pay. In this case it's the first of my Jacobite Irish regiments which formed part of the Irish Brigade originally sent to France in 1690 by King James II in return for French troops and which remained in French service until 1792.
The first unit of Irish is Viscount Clare's Regiment who fought at the
Battle of Blenheim as part of the Marquis de Rosel's Corps near Oberglau and also at the
Battle of Ramillies where Lord Clare was mortally wounded.
Once again

Warflag.
Another great looking regiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil - more still to come!
DeleteVery nice indeed. Makes me want to get back to painting my WSS stuff, including this very regiment.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I am slowly building up my collection and I now want to add the other regiments of the Irish Brigade!
DeleteBeautiful work Al, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray - I'll pass that on to my friend Roger who painted them for me. There's certainly more to come - some horse and some Dutch foot...
