Well... if you insist, WW...
Moving it was fine with me. I realised that my response might take the thread down another avenue, and I didn't really want to spoil Rich's thread by going there. So - moving it was good.
Thanks ~

Thank you Sachem, and I am glad to see you up and about. As for the picture, it has an interesting story behind it. It was 'officially' listed as a rendition of the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd Royal Highlanders, before they departed for North America in 1759. I was a wee bit confused, since the regimental colors were done in yellow, and by the time the 42nd was authorized a second battalion they were a 'Royal Regiment' with a dark-blue regimental standard. So I did a little snooping (No suprise there, huh?), and found out from a friend of mine, who is still with the regiment, that the painting was finished in 1759, but that its origins were from a series of sketches done of the single battalion regiment in Ireland (Circa 1756), prior to their departure for North America. When I asked of the flag, to wit: why was it yellow instead of buff (the regimental color of the 42nd, prior to 1759); he told me of one therory, that artist might have exercised a little bit of 'license' and changed the color so that it would not disappear into the background. Either way, it is a truly fascinating work, with a good amount of depth and detail.
Your Most Humble Servant,
