The warrant of 1768
specified that the First or Kings Color of every regiment was to be the
Great Union. The second color was specified as being the regimental facing
color. Regiments with red or white facings were to have the cross of St.
George and the Union flag in the upper left canton. Those with black facings
the same but over a black field. In the center of each color was a wreath
of roses or thistles around the regimental number in Roman Numerals. Those
regiments with ancient devices were allowed to display them.
