The regiment De Meuron

The VOC (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compacnie) or Dutch East-Indian Company) had hired the Swiss regiment de Meuron.
After the British conquered the Dutch possessions this regiment went into British pay,

The regiment had in it's VOC time a regimental (2 examples underneath ) and colonels flag as can be seen underneath. This is the normal dutch practice; white colonels' and coloured regimental on.
