Have a look on W J Rawkins site. They have very reasonably priced downloads that might contain the information you need.

I had no idea Rawkins publications were still available?  I had some of them about 40 years ago.  There is nothing, as I remember, on colours and standards in them and they were not entirely reliable.

They have and are being completely updated. As I said at the price for a download Ed booklet it is not a huge investment. I have several and am very happy with them. Currently waiting for some of the new booklets currently in preparation

I have the current Rawkins book on the Duchy of Warsaw 1807-1814.
It details  flags for 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th8th, 13th 14th, 17th infantry regiments
1st chasseurs and uhlans

The current Rawkins editions are worth every penny, I spend £20 getting each printed out and sprial bound, although some are now so big as to need two volumes.

He does, for instance this is his sources page from CB03 - The Kingdom of Italy 1805-14

The 'e-books' [sorry a PDF on a CD isn't an e-book but never mind  ;)] are not exhaustively footnoted but they are massively updated on the original paperback series and offer probably the single best single-source, all wrapped up together study of each army that's in the reach of the majority of wargamers. Like all secondary information collections they will never be sufficient for the series academic or student who wishes to research for themselves but for the typical wargamer they are pretty darn good.

Thanks for that.  People can get a bit anal when it comes to source material but one of the principle criticisms of his original stuff was that he didn't provide any at all.    I've been collecting plates, regulations and books for nearly 50 years and I recognise a lot of this material.

Hi John

Just got back from York show and got your e-mail. When I tried to reply your server rejected my reply.

This doesn't always mean that the e-mail didn't get to you but, in case it didn't, I'll answer it here and say that I would be very grateful to see the scans that you mention. I can read pretty well any graphic format or PDF, which ever is the easiest for you. French text is not a problem for me.

Thanks

Hi Mark

Does it contain any illustrations of the flags ? Particularly I'm looking for photos of the surviving flags or drawings taken from them. I have text descriptions of the flags but they don't give enough to draw a flag from as there is no indication of the size or positioning of the elements listed in the descriptions.

Some are descriptions only, but there are colour prints for the 1st, 4th, 6th, 8th, 13th, 14th and 17th Regiments, and 1st Chasseurs and 15th Uhlans. On pg124 there is colour painting of the Eagle Party for 5th Infantry Regiment,

Hi Mark

That is good to know, they may be useful if other offers of help don't turn up the same info.

Tony of TTT

PS I spoke to Leon at the York show and the layout of the flags sheets has now been decided.

Wurttemberg (17 flags) & Hess-Darmstadt (12 flags) will have their own sheets and the Saxons will come on two sheets (totalling 26 flags) so that every Regiment can be catered for.
