For my own part, I've got a better shot at understanding "Les Guerres sous Louis XV" by Pajol. <br /><br />An excellent blog you have there, by the way. <br /><br />Regards,<br />SteveCorporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-18244692357184974392012-09-14T00:59:08.657-07:002012-09-14T00:59:08.657-07:00War of Polish Succession is described in detailes ...War of Polish Succession is described in detailes (campaigns in Germany & Italy) in XIX & XX volumes of Feldzuge des Prinzen Eugen von Savoeyn. I believe they both are available on archive.org or books.google.com. For campaigns in Poland & Lithuania you need Russian sources, because Feldzuge is very brief for them.<br />Hope this helpsGromoboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14513137327707308631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-21560077183241481422012-09-13T07:49:03.039-07:002012-09-13T07:49:03.039-07:00Thanks, Sam.

Yes, you're right about the Polish Succession being a matter of the European powers imposing their choice of candidate on the Poles, nothing too worthy of remembrance if you're Polish.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SteveCorporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-89416722270947544592012-09-13T04:24:29.890-07:002012-09-13T04:24:29.890-07:00I've had a look around for any information in ...I've had a look around for any information in Polish - it's mostly a couple of paragraphs in school text books or a reference to biographies of Poland's Saxon kings.<br />I'll keep looking but it's not a particularly patriotic war for Poles so not studied much.<br />It's also worth taking a look at Place Stanislas in Nancy in France for the memorial to Stanislaw Leszczynski.samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309069824997740570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-81792991819446077322012-09-12T11:12:34.304-07:002012-09-12T11:12:34.304-07:00Hey Steve,

The garrison here was a royal garrison and thus wore the king's colors of Blue great coat with red cuffs, brass buttons, red stockings and white gaiters with brass buttons. The waistcoat was the same color of blue as the great coat. The artillerist wore the same uniform but with the body of the uniform done in red with blue cuffs. The infantry here wore waist belt with a 8, 12, or 16 round cartridge box in brown leather with red embossed royal symbol on the front of the flap. they also carried an infantry hangar and a socket bayonet. Their tricorns were black with yellow trim and red cockade. The black shoes had brass buckles as well. From the research done at the Castillo de San Marcos national monument this appears to have been the standard uniform since 1730. Hopefully this can of some assistance.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07030697523312868365noreply@blogger.com
