Imperial Russian Army Flags
1805-1806.
When Russia entered
into the Napoleonic wars conflict, the
Russian Army flew a consideral number of different flag designs,
subtypes and variants of these. For example there were different
flag designs for line and guard infantry, then some regiments got
special flags as a rewards for good conduct in battle etc. When
new regulation patterns were introduced, Regiments often continued
to carry their older flags when these were in good condition. A great number of units
still carried the old 1797 pattern flags in 1813.
For a number
of regiments the situation which flags actually have been carried
at a certain date i.e. battle of the napoleonic wars period is totally
unknown.
Since 1802 each regiment should carry 1 "white" flag (in the
1st Batn.) and 5 "coloured" flags, which means 2 flags per bataillon.
There were different design and colour schemes used by the various
regiments. Within each regiment, one design scheme was used for
all flags. For the so called "white" flag, white was the
predominant colour of the flag. For the "coloured" flags
respectively the characteristic colours of the individual flag design
scheme were predominant.
Flagstaves were about 10 feet long
with a gilt spearpoint tip and painted in white, black, yellow or brown
according to regimental distinctions.
The flag was carried by a NCO.
The HAT 8072 figures big shako
bush was the characteristic sign of grenadiers. So the flags used
with this figures should be the flags for grenadier regiments or
the bush be cut of to convert the man to a soldier of a musketeer
regiment.As a special sign of rank NCO´s carried
a cane, fixed at one of the upper breast buttons, collar and cuffs were laced in gold, the shako bush had a distictive
white and red tip, the shako´s upper edge laced in gold (Thanks
for research help to Hans-Karl Weiss!).
