A map of the encampments on Coxheath and Warley Common in 1778. American War of Independence (1775-83).
The diagrams of the regimental layout give the names of the colonels, lieutenant-colonels, and majors, together with the strength of each and the colour of the facings. The colours of some of these facings for the Warley Camp differ from those set out in Lawson: for example, the 6th Foot are here represented as buff instead of Lawson's deep yellow; the 25th Foot are green instead of deep yellow; 69th Foot, buff instead of willow green. The facings for the East Kent Militia are here described as 'Plain' (i.e. plain red, the same colour as the coat); according to Lawson they were changed to Kentish grey the following year, 1779.
