Re: Identifying the enemy.
Arms & formations were basically the same. Your enemy could be wearing the same colour coat as you, he might speak the same language as you & unit flags weren't necessarily very different from the other sides. It happens in civil wars. They are so untidy... AFAIK there aren't many "fri...

Re: Just an observation
Nice point about woollen garments, Patrice. I am currently re-reading the O'Brien opus for the X time & poor Killick, the steward, is constantly cleaning and repairing the broadcloth uniform coats The same uniform may look very different depending on the situation. That's me (about 20 years ago...

Re: Just an observation
I think I'm correct in saying in our hobby, SYW troops are rarely shown in 'campaign dress', which logically can't be correct in reality? I don't see what 'campaign dress' in the SYW could be? In the early 18th C. the military fashion was very similar to the civilian one except for facings which ha...

Re: Dust
Khaki (and greenish) dyes before the 20th century were rather unstable I think, after some time under the sun they could fade, or change (they often were a mix of two or three different colours which could evolve differently).
