NEW RELEASES 75/02 92 HIGHLANDER 1880

[martin tabony]

I agree about the red "doublet" but in the 1882 Egypt campaign I believe all highland regiments, including the Gordons, wore the Scottish pattern undress "frock", which usually only had the collar in the facing colour and no white piping down the front.
Interestingly (or not!) they wore the frock because the grey uniforms didn't arrive in time. When they did arrive they were stored in Cairo and then issued for the 1884 Sudan campaign

thanks

This is very nicely painted but I,m sorry to have to point out as a Gordon the buttons on his gaiters should be black

 

[martin tabony]

In memory of Sir John Moor, I believe. The only regiment to have black buttons on their gaiters.
