Frederick the Great's Birthday

The grand review of the regimental flags of the Prussian army.

Yesterday, January 24th, was the anniversary of King Frederick II of Prussia's birthday. I had not forgotten the date, but I simply did not have my wargame table cleared off in time to hold the annual review of the army by the King. So instead, I copied an idea from the Funcken Lace Wars book and set up a photo shoot showing the parade of the regimental standards. I had to leave 3 of the standards out due to limited table space. However, this gives a nice representation of the same picture in the Funcken book.

Please visit my blog for even more pictures of the review of the standards.
