The 7th Royal Fuzileers purchased a new stand of colours in January, 1771. The badge of the Tudor rose
within the buckler beneath the Crown and the three horses of Hanover were embroidered. Total cost for the
colours, staves, tassels and cases was 27 pounds and 7 shillings.
These colours were captured at the surrender of Fort Chambly in October, 1775. They are in the collection of
the West Point Museum at West Point Military Academy, New York.
Replacement colours were ordered at an estimated cost of 24 pounds, 19 shillings and sixpence. The
statement of account for these has not been found, but these colours were captured in the British Army's
baggage train by the rebel general Daniel Morgan's army at the Battle of Cowpens in 1780.
