	Help: Which Regiment(s)
		Although equipment was generally standardised, the colonel raising the regiment under the royal commission was paid to dress the troops and had a pretty free hand in the way of other markings, so to prevent confusion between regiments, it was usual to display "facings", cuffs, collars etc of different colours or have different buttoning patterns.
		There was also another all-British, regiment, the 55th, which its Colonel, Augustus Howe, converted to light infantry; its breeches and belts (though not their jackets) were dyed brown or green and they cut their tricorne hats down to the dimensions of a bowler.
		The regiment was then known as "The Princess Anne of Denmark's Regiment of Dragoons." (How do you fancy answering the phone for that lot?) The regiment fought for the crown during the Glorious Revolution, then switched to support William of Orange in 1688.
