Notes
Coats and Flags
Although known to be yellow, the flag design illustrated above is based on conjecture by Brigadier Young, employing Lamplugh's arms as inspiration. While this appears to be a likely design, there is no direct evidence to support it. Lamplugh's may well have been one of Newcastle's white-coated regiments 2).
