Title: Hesse-Kassel Cockades, American Revolution
Post by: Rob Herrick on July 10, 2016, 08:53:57 PM
Does anybody know what color the cockades were for Hessian officers and musketeers in the American Revolution?

The best I can turn up is the Perry brothers' article on the Hessians and Brunswick troops for the Saratoga Campaign, which indicates they all wore black cockades. Is that correct?
