NOW SENT TO PRINTERS
MC-010 and MC-011 French Infantry of Louis XV Part 1 and 2.
This is the first part of this lavishly illustrated study with over 385 colour illustrations of the French Infantry of Louis XV (1720-66). France rebuilt their army after the War of Spanish Succession (1700-14) before being involved in the War of Polish Succession (1733-35), War of Austrian Succession (1740-48), Jacobite Rebellion (1745), French Indian Wars (1754-63), and Seven Years War (1756-63).
PART ONE deals with the 35 Regiments that made up the ‘Les Vieux Corps’, ‘Les Petits Vieux’ and the Royal Regiments. Their Colonel’s and Ordnance flags were normally more ornate than the other Provincial French Regiments, often with the use of the fleur-de-lis. The 105 illustrations of flags include seventy by Chaligny (1771) and the regimental number relates to the post 1763 reform of the army when 22 regiments were disbanded. The author decided to simply present the illustrations and where possible resolve the inconsistencies. The precise details of uniforms are
difficult to sort out with the distance of time and these have been highlighted rather than reconciled by the works of Pengel and Hurt. The remaining colour illustrations include 94 uniform, 114 schema, 76 details of uniform and weapon by Lucien Rousellot, Lucien Mouillard, Gudenus, Alfred de Marbot, Henry Boisselier, Hans Brauer, Hans Knötel and Friedrich Schirmer.
PART TWO deals with the 61 Provincial Regiments. The 125 illustrations of flags include 62 by Chaligny (1771) and the
regimental number relates to the post 1763 reform of the army when 22 regiments were disbanded. The author decided to simply present the illustrations and where possible resolve the inconsistencies. The precise details of uniforms are difficult to sort out with the distance of time and these have been highlighted rather than reconciled by the works of Pengel and Hurt. The remaining colour illustrations include 50 uniform, 187 schema, 44 cuff and pocket details by Lucien Rousellot, Lucien Mouillard, Gudenus, Alfred de Marbot, Henry Boisselier, and Friedrich Schirmer.
Part 2 that also contains the Index and References for both parts.
The subsequent parts will cover the foreign infantry regiments, light infantry, militia, the guard and the cavalry.
