_Uniforms of the three Regiments of Foot Guards, temp. Charles II._--Being
very desirous to know where well authenticated pictures of officers in the
regimentals of the Foot Guards during the reign of Charles II. may be seen,
or are, I shall be greatly obliged to any reader of "N & Q." who will
supply the information. I make no doubt there are, in many of the private
collections of this country, several portraits of officers so dressed,
which have descended as heir-looms in families. I subjoin the colonels'
names, and dates of the regiments:
1st Foot Guards, 1660: Colonel Russell, Henry Duke of Grafton.
Coldstream Guards, 1650: General Monk.
3rd Guards, 1660: Earl of Linlithgow. 1670: Earl of Craven.
