This
is a very complicated unit of three squadrons.
The
second and third squadrons were supplied by the Elector of Pfalz.
They had white coats with red facings and the horses had yellow
saddlecloths. If they wore a cuirasse at all it was hidden under the
coat.
The
first squadron (of three companies) was supplied by the Upper Rhine
Circle. According to Kronoskaf the first company had red coats with
light blue facings while the other two companies had white coats with
light blue facings. Again, there is sparse information as to whether
they had cuirasses but if they did, they wore them under the coat.
That
make one three-squadron regiment with three uniforms. Soubise, who we
have met before on sartorial matters, rated this unit as mediocre (it
had heavy losses at Rossbach)
but
that may just have been his dissapproval of the mismatched uniforms.
