KINGDOM OF PRUSSIA
 


COLORS OF GARRISON REGIMENTS  •  1740-1806

The Prussian Army included a number of second-line infantry regiments that served to garrison towns and fortifications. They were not intended for field service and so received no colors, but as the Seven Years War (1756-63) wore on lack of men forced Frederick to employ these garrison regiments as regular infantry. Accordingly they were granted colors. Garrison Regiments Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 received colors of the normal infantry pattern, but for the rest a new design was introduced, with just the royal cypher within the wreath.
