Was There? That's probably where the illustration came from that I'm using as reference.

I think there is a pic in the Blandford book, Uniforms of the Napoleonic Wars (I think thats what it was called - the little one)

I love this extract from the Greek Light Infantry Wikipedia entry,

The men were supposed to be issued pistols, but it was "thought prudent" not to issue them to the men as they were, in the view of one historian 'always volatile'.

That's the pic its based on....... !

I quite like the figure on the right just can't make out the detail on the front of cap ...got no scarf hanging either ...but ...never say never !

Would certainly be interested in seeing the rest of the article as well

The Hamilton-Smith illustration it's based on doesn't help much either.
