Campaign History
121
Seven Years War: In 1756, it maintained the blockade of the Saxon army in Pirna
while the main Prussian army was engaged against the Austrians at Lobositz (1 Oct).
On 6 May 1757, the regiment lost two thirds of its strength (22 officers and 1168
men) at Prague. At the end of August, the regiment was part of the small Prussian
122
Dorn (1989) 14
In 1761, it was present at the Bunzelwitz Lager (20 Aug-25 Sept). In 1762, it fought at
Burkersdorf & Leutmannsdorf (21 July), the siege of Schweidnitz (4 Aug-10 Oct) and
Reichenbach (16 Aug).
Chapter 11
Musketeer Uniforms
Frederick William I established an annual requirement for uniforms. In 1713, the
Royal Wool Factory [Konigliches Lagerhaus] managed by private entrepreneurs was
founded in Berlin employing over 5,000 workers and over 25,000 outworkers. This
was nearly half the civilian inhabitants of Berlin. It produced and stored the uniforms
garrisoned in Berlin plus the production of the uniforms of officer of all regiments
and was the largest cloth producer in Germany. Regiments outside Brandenburg
obtained the uniforms for their NCOs, other ranks and musicians from designated
manufacturers.412 Subsequent monarchs supported the foundation of factories in
Prussia to guarantee the production of high quality material for the army and provide
revenue from exports. The quality of the uniforms was higher than those of their
neighbouring states. For decades, the Russian army was uniformed in Prussian cloth.
The typical style of the Prussian
uniform
developed
under
Frederick William I between
1725 and 1735. The uniforms of
IR2, IR9, IR11, IR14, IR19,
IR25 and IR26 remained
essentially unchanged from this
time. Only IR17 changed their
facing colours from red to
white.413 Frederick II retained
the infantry uniforms of his
father.
Apart from IR15, the only
musketeer regiment to receive
the new style uniform were IR7,
the converted old fusilier
regiments (IR28, IR31 and
IR32) and the new Musketeer
Regiments (IR34 and IR50).

Flag covers
During a march the flags were rolled around the flagpole and encased under a wax
canvas cover. Flags were unrolled when there was a march-past, marching through a
town or at the beginning of the battle. The flag cover was worn either around the
waist or as a bandolier. These wax canvas covers were black although Menzel shows
an officer cadet of IR1 von Winterfeldt with a red cover.
