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.

I am a bit worried by the one with what looks like 2 grenades stuffed down there.
