Described as professed Independents entire the regiment were soundly in Cromwell's camp, apparently disregarding orders from their superior officer, the Presbyterian Major General Laurence Crawford.

Red coats lined white ¹⁾²⁾. When Montagu's joined the New Model Army they were issued with 10 new flags in blue. Whether they previously carried blue flags is unknown, but a possibility.

A list of the regiment’s officers is shown in Laurence Spring’s Regiments of the Eastern Association³⁾

Edward Montagu, later Earl of Sandwich, not to be confused with Edward Montagu, the Earl of Manchester
