The Kingdom of Denmark

The Danish Auxiliary corps 1813 A treaty of alliance between Denmark and France was signed on the 10th July 1813. The treaty dictated that Denmark would supply a force known as the "the Danish Auxiliary corps" which, together with three smaller French divisions made up the newly created French XIII army-corps commanded by Marshal Davout. The Danish contingent consisted of the following: The Queens Life regiment of foot 1st Battalion Oldenburg Infantry regiment 1st, 2nd and 4th Battalions Schleswig Infantry regiment 1st and 2nd Battalions Holstein Infantry regiment 3rd and 4th Battalions 3rd Jutland Infantry regiment 1st Battalion Fyenen Infantry regiment 1st and 2nd Battalions Schleswig Jaeger corps 2nd Battalion Holstein Sharpshooter corps 1st and 2nd Battalions 3rd company of Slesvigske Jaeger corps The Light company of the Queens Life regiment of Foot 2nd Battalion The Light company of the Oldenburg Infantry regiment 3rd Battalion The Hussar Regiment 2nd and 6th Squadrons Holstein Cavalry regiment 4 squadrons 2nd Fyenen light dragoons regiment 4 squadrons Battery Gerstenberg (a 6-pounder battery of foot. 10 guns) Battery Koye (a 6-pounder battery of foot. 10 guns) Battery Friis (a 6-pounder battery of foot. 10 guns) Battery Gönner (a 3-pounder mounted battery. 10 guns) In all about 10,200 men. In 1813 the Danish infantry regiments consisted of four battalions each of which seems to have been issued with at least one and possibly as many as four pairs of flags (possibly one pair per company), a pair consisted of a king's colour and a regimental colour. It seems that the light infantry regiments were not issued with flags. The cavalry regiments consisted of four squadrons each of which carried an identical squadron standard, the cavalry do not appear to have been issued with king's colours.
