The following page is a very speculative description of how the Swedish regiments' uniforms looked during the Battle of Fraustadt. This is because several of these regiments were issued new uniforms in 1704 that have not been described by the sources. They are: the Liv-Dragoons, Bremen Dragoon Regiment, Nyland Cavalry Regiment and the Södermanland and Kronoberg Infantry Regiments. In these cases I have used either their earlier or later uniforms. For the Vallack Regiment, however, there are no known uniforms at all and I am not only unsure of what colours they might have had, but also what cut they had on the uniforms.
