I've made some more and revamped my old Huguenots flags, for the Boyne regiments, what do you think?

I don't think I have ever seen any Irish flags (the other guys who supported Seamus an chacha, James the poop head). Do you have any pictures?

I've got a few for some Irish regts, these are totally made up as no-one knows exactly what the Huguenots flags looked like. Take a look here, these are some of the recored Irish flags for the Boyne.

Thanks! I wondered about the use of Irish symbols like the harp (present on quite a few of those). The Ulster Red Hand was a surprise but should not have been since it was O'Neill. Thanks again, a part of history I should be more aware of but am not.
I once read Orange and Green by G.A. Henty which I thought was a very fair account of the war.
