Ray Rousell is the expert and you can check out his blog for the flags and pictures of his units. Also the League of Augsberg site.

At the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, there were 3 regts of Huguenot foot, 1 unit of Horse and a Dragoon regt that fought for William III's English army. All the regt also took part in the Flanders campaign up until the Peace of Ryswick, in 1697.

Meloniere's dragoons probably grey coats , Cambon's Regt Foot ditto, Cillemotte's Regt Foot Ditto. Courtesy Raider games "The British Army of William III by Sapherson.

Keep the info on the Boyne coming guys, My grandfather was butler at Townley hall right next to the battle site in 1930 and I was there on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week for work and also gathering some info to eventually do a 2mm site recreation in my old age.
Whoops--I am already old age, I better get a move on.

Good luck with the project Terry, check out my blog, for other Grand Alliance stuff, and if you haven't already take a look at the League of Augsberg fighting talk forum, there's tons of info there.
