A new napoleonic British Regiment (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know which regiment this colour belongs to? I know the man on the left is a Coldstream Guards.

33rd foot Regiment?....or one of the Regiments in the 5th Brigade.

If it is the 33rd (Wellington's Own) then the facing colors on the Ensign would need to be red.
Some plates show officers with square ended lace in silver and the ORs with Jews Harp shaped loops in white with a central red stripe.

Other red faced regiments including the 41st Regiment of Foot which also used the Jews Harp shaped lacing pattern, had officers lacing in the same pattern as the ORs but in silver (with a central black stripe for the 41st) and this may be true for the 33rd Regiment of Foot.

It will be interesting to see what Regiment this is supposed to be.

Yes,

excatly my thoughts about the flag.... what Regiment??

And is it correct that the 7th Cuassiers captured a British Standard in a battle when the Coldstream Guards were present??

Maybe the 'rivet counters' will enlighten us?

I don't really care if its not correct, becuse it looks so good.
