Notes
There is a brief history of the regiment in ECW N&Q Issue 2, p15, by Stuart Reid.
Coats and Flags
Reid conjectures that, since Byerley's arms bore a red cross crosslet on yellow field, their flags might have followed the same design. Additionally the white coats with blue and red silk crosses on their sleeves captured at York might have been from this regiment.
Notable Officers
A list of the regiment's officers is shown in Officers and Regiments of the Royalist Army by Stuart Reid (Partizan Press).
