Whilst I don't wish to be too historical with them... or maybe I do... I wonder if you fine chaps could recommend any simple generic all encompassing books/sites for uniform references and styles.
Thanking you, in advance.

Cheers Mark, I needed a laugh and that right cheered me up.

He was being serious - you dont want to get your Imaginations army all unhistrorical or whatever.

Mindyou, I think Henry threw in the towel when I brought my Mexicans to the last bash we had. He was going around the table with his iPad taking a video and I heard him "These arn't really Mexicans they are...."

Even back in the 18th century the East Ayton fusileers were sticklers for tradition and continued to wear oversized leather codpieces.

Is that a fusil in your pants or are you just pleased to see me?
