Prince George Regiment of Foot

Actions on the day at Blenheim

Their were two battalions of Prince George Regiment of Foot at Blenheim. Both served under Lieutenant General Scholten in the extreme right of the allied line.

Scholten’s section was formed up into two lines and the 1st Battalion of Prince George formed up in the front line whilst the 2nd Battalion provided support in the second line.

Prince George’s regiment were Danish and as the Danes had a reputation as shock troops, I decided to paint them with bayonets charging in!
