I see three different types of head gear and a number of different coats, mainly plain roundabout jackets but one or two units still had the old coatees with white lace. <br />RogerChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937336280188379808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361414585205649371.post-28122892434773497472020-02-18T03:14:15.450-08:002020-02-18T03:14:15.450-08:00That's a terrific help.

The image on "At them with the bayonet" is also the 10th in covered Bell top shako's. There was also the Bengal Europeans where I have a number of images of them in covered bell top shako including the Blanford and the Osprey for the HEIC. Does that help? I think there may have been more in Bell top but certainly not many.RogerChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937336280188379808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361414585205649371.post-60799659131829076992020-02-17T08:42:00.343-08:002020-02-17T08:42:00.343-08:00Cheers Neil.Cheers Neil.RogerChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937336280188379808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361414585205649371.post-74914640977512508292020-02-17T08:41:47.274-08:002020-02-17T08:41:47.274-08:00Cheers Chris, yeah you have to wonder about the sh...Cheers Chris, yeah you have to wonder about the shako's I am particularly pleased with this lot.RogerChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937336280188379808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361414585205649371.post-29536665490937488912020-02-17T05:35:39.151-08:002020-02-17T05:35:39.151-08:00Lovely figures and basing.

What was your source to determine that the 10th were still equiped in this way? I'd be keen to understand that level of uniform detail.ipushleadaroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406588726636864715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361414585205649371.post-86312336170592539542020-02-17T00:40:36.301-08:002020-02-17T00:40:36.301-08:00Great work, my friend.

Can't imagine they were popular with the rank and file?
