These are converged grenadiers of IR1 and IR23, both with silver-faced mitres, and they featured in most of the major SYW battles. The officer of IR23 is wearing a mitre which is incorrect (officers always wore a tricorne) but lets assume he lost his headwear from the hot gust of a cannonball, and had to make do with the first thing he could find. Interestingly, officers in Hanoverian service could wear the mitre.
Four 'big' battalions for the Prussians are finished.
