Bear Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hello,Were the Hanover Guards around during the 1770's and if so where were they located. I'm also looking for a picture of what a Hanover officers redcoat during that time. I can't find anything on the web.thanks,barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 BarryA quick search suggests that they were still in Hanover in 1757, when a prominent astronomer who'd played in their band emigrated to England. Not much help, i know but... perhaps a starting spotPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coat's knee-length skirts are turned back for greater ease in marching.thanks,barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
