The Colour of the 71st
(Fraser’s Highlanders) Regiment (1776-1783) is in the Scottish United Services Museum. (located in Edinburgh Castle)
Two of the Regiments which
surrendered at Yorktown are believed to have concealed their Colours, i.e. the
23rd Regiment (1) and the 33rd Regiment (2). Neither of these two colours is know to
exist today.
