No h8 m8. Scroll down until you see Estonia. Part of the 14th infantry division, one of the divisions in the 1st Army. I had to dig.
Why has NA always these unique regimental names....
Anyone here know if the russo-german legion had colours during the napoleonic wars?
Flag
Ernst Friedrich Graf von Munster proposed the Legion flag as being St. George killing the dragon with the inscription "Heran! Gekommen ist die Zeit: es fallt der bunte Drache, aus allen Landen weit und breit ertönt der Ruf der Rache." ("Come on! The time has come: the disordered/motley dragon falls, from all countries far and wide sounds the call for revenge.") Ernst Moritz Arndt (a contemporary patriotic writer) mentions that the St. George was encircled by oak leaves and gives the text as "Auf! Auf! Gekommen ist die Zeit!" ("Arise, arise! The time has come!")
In ihren mit Eichenlaub, dem Lorbeer deutscher Helden, umstickten Fahnen sieht man den heiligen Georg, der den höllischen Lindwurm ersticht, und man liest darin die Reime:
Auf! Auf! Gekommen ist die Zeit!
Es fällt der bunte Drache,
Aus allen Landen weit und breitErklingtErtönt der Ruf der Rache.
Surrounded by oak leaves, the laurel of German heroes, could be seen sewn onto the flags Saint George stabbing the infernal dragon, and one could read the rhyme:
Up! Up! The time has come!
The motley dragon falls,
From all lands far and wide
Rings/chimes/sounds whatever the call of revenge.
Is this image accurate to the Russian line infantry during the 1790s?Spoiler[close]
