Schopping Infantry Regiment – Hesse-Kassel

Actions on the day at Blenheim

The Schopping Regiment serve in the center of the allied army under the overall command of Marlborough’s brother, Charles Churchill.

They were in Lt. General Ingoldsby brigade on the extreme left of the allied central position and just to the right of Cutt’s column.

Uniform Details

Blue coat with white cuffs and lining.  There was no hat lace. The buttons were yellow (I used gold on the officers).  The waistcoat was white. The neckcloth was white (although I’ve also seen it referred to as red). The breeches were grey. I painted the drummer in the same colours.
