ON REGIMENTAL COLOURS.
The English Regiments of Foot had formerly a Colour to every
Company[37]. They were afterwards formed into _Three Divisions_
on the same principle as the Continental Armies, viz., _Two wings
of Musketeers, and a Centre Division of Pikemen_. Each Division
had a Stand of Colours, that it might act separately. The Swedish
Infantry were formed in this manner, by _Gustavus Adolphus_, and
were copied by Marshals de Turenne and Montecuculi.
