The Seven Years War Project at Kronoskaf is a good forum, but beware, it is an open, self-editing forum, like Wikipedia, and there are mistakes. Be sure to check more than one source, if possible.
For example, I've been tracking down info--well, minutiae, really--on whether the Hannoverian army used cords or bands on its colors, like pretty much every army of the time. I have Niemeyer and Ortenburg's "The Electorial Brunswick Army in the Seven Years' War", which has photos of all of the infantry colors the Hannoverians used ("Hannover" is really the Electorate of Brunswick-Luneburg, hence the book's title), but none of the photos include the staffs or any cords/bands they may have had. The discussion turned to the Leibfahnen carried by the regiments. It consisted of the arms of the House of Hannover on the obverse (which were the British arms as well), and the arms of the Electorate on the reverse. The question was--did the Electorate's arms have supporters or not? They did, the lion and unicorn, just like the British. But the image and text posted to Kronoskaf was incorrect.
Having given that long explanation, I'll say that I've found good, new information that I was not able to find elsewhere, because the forum is an international community. The mystery of the Duchy of Brunswick's (Brunswick-Wolfenbuettel) infantry colors was cleared up by a poster from Germany (the colors the Brunswickers carried in America in the Revolutionary War) were introduced just before the Seven Years War. My only sources indicated that they carried an older pattern, in the Seven Years War, but the posters had access to better info, in their own backyards.
So, I recommend the site, but beware, as with anything, and check your sources!
Prost!
