Greder Allemand

Actions on the day at Blenheim

The Greder Allemand Regiment were part of the first line of defence around Blindheim. There were in fact two battalions from the Greder Allemand regiment and both were stationed together in this frost line of defence alonside 3 battalions from the Navarre regiment.

The Grand Allemand were part of Marquis de Clerambault section on the French Right Wing

I was determined to paint these as they are a welcome break from the masses of grey coats in the French army!

I wasn’t able to find any specific details about the drummers uniform so I went with reverse facings. When in doubt be colourful!
