First a regiment of foot guards (every army needs at least a regiment of guards! ;-))
Detailed shot of one of the batallions
Then the Närke-Värmland tremanning regiment*
And again a detail of one of the batallions
* Tremanning regiments are regiments that are drafted from areas that already had a normal draft of soldiers. Normally 1 area would support and send one soldier to the normal, provincial, regiments of the army; for the tremanning regiments ("3rd man regiments") three areas would join together to send an additional soldier. This was an exceptional measure to cover the losses from the campaigns.
