Osprey's Russo-Japanes War Plate Text

[captnenglish]

I just picked up the Pizzaro Miniatures Japanese Cavalry Officer, based on one the plates from the above title. I have a nice scan of the plate (gotta love the interweb), but not the text. If anyone has this title and would be willing to post or PM the text I would be grateful. The figure is base on figure 3 on the plate entitled Japan: Winter Uniforms. (see attached)

Thanks in advance.

Here you go, Matt: "Second lieutenant, 3rd Cavalry. Although pictured late in the war, this officer is still wearing-under his rather flamboyant privately purchased fur jacket and tall felt boots-the colored cavalry uniform. The cap has cavalry green piping and a band with a black rank stripe. The dark blue "Attila" has black cord frogging; NCO's and men had yellow trim on the jacket, but all ranks wore the red breeches with green piping or stripes down the outseam. His side arm is the Type 26 revolver which was standard cavalry issue, and he has an M1886 company officers sword. The system of sword knots for this period is not fully known, but company officers are reported to have had them in gold braid."

Thanks. Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do as far as groundwork (other than snow I mean)
