Try the Pike and Shot society..they do some stuff on the WSS era...being uk bases should have stuff on georges army and allies.

WSS is quite difficult to get a complete book on the subject but you can try these for starters:

The Armies and Uniforms of Marlborough's Wars vol 1&2 Partizan Historical
Marlborough's Army 1702-11 Osprey Men at Arms Series
From Pike to shot 1685 to 1720 by Charles Stuart Grant

Hope this helps.

also, I have the osprey & the pike and shot books so if you need the info I can PM it to you, but not until the weekend.

Cheers

Check Caliver for books, there's a series of booklets for a couple of quid, well researched which cover most of the period and armies.

probably the best book on the Dutch is the Sapherson Guide.

No plates but from memory it details all the uniforms.
