By Paul Waring


The red color was the uniforms colour, adopted by the regiment permanent first of the UK army, Yeoman of the Guard, Beefeaters, in the reign of Henry VIII. In 1645, this color was adopted at the time of the first standing army was raised. Red n ' was not used to disguise the bloodstains. To the contrary, each military adopted certain colors like their state colors. French infantrymen tended to carry blue; Russians carried green; Colombia s ' outfitted with red. With thoese are not infantry carrying a colour bright red, with white cross-belts and coppers shining, less complicated targets? However , in the years 1860, tactics of combat were different from those applied aujourd ' today.

Before 1866, longarms British was loading by the mouth of the weapons.

To charge these weapons necessary to a soldier with: 1) to be held upright to charge a load with powder and balls down in the mouth. 2) to be terribly close to the enemy to strike them, because of the inaccuracy of the arquebus. 3) to hold close whole for the cooking of volleyball. It was actually the amount of missiles which counts, not camouflage.

In 1867 nonetheless , the war and times change. With the appearance of loading by the cylinder head of rifles of l ' Brit army in 1866, the standard of the light weapons changed greatly. more rapid of the rates of set fire to, by a weapon much more accurate, which might be charged in the belly, slowly began changing the tactical doctrines of the military. Change of method wasn't also fast; it could have been because in the last 1/2 the years 1800, the British military a mode armed forces, supplied in a similar way is not beaten. In substance, the methods used were those which had a direction with the older style of weapons; the strategies were to still germinate/move to take advantage of the weapons latest. It is surprising that, latterly, the teachings of these new weapons showed the American Civil War (1861 - 1865) n ' weren't absorbed by the UK.

Although the bulk of the Western european states had observers on the 2 sides, lessons which should have been drawn were declined, because one estimated that this war was an isolated case, determined by a geography seems like any in Europe. Additionally, he was considered as a brawl" between the unruly armed forces improper. It was critical to await end of the year 1800 that l ' khaki uniform was delivered, l ' British army carry out ultimately that uniforms of dreary color provided a better camouflage in answer to more reliable, faster the weapons of shooting by using the powder without smoke. Once again, the tactics continued d ' to show a delay and it was necessary l ' hecatomb of the First World War to convince the authorities qu ' there was a requirement to put at l ' shelter and to stay hidden, in opposition to the position upright in the formations of combat.

Uniform of the lady The girls of the garrison had a uniform less allowed but which supplied the composition of class and the social order of the time. The wives of the men in the rows wore a cotton dress linked with apron and of a capillary prosthesis called 'avanon. Their shoes are made from leather plain common to the period. It on the other hand distinct with the more decorated dress was carried by the marry d ' an officer, in accord with his position as a citizen of the higher class. In the same way, non combatants employed by the Army of 1867 had their own type of wearing of clothing which indicated their role within l ' Military. The Master of the school carried a black, knuckles frock coat length, while l ' teacher wore a skirt, blouse and the cut of jacket in a style generally known as a "zouave" jacket, similar to the uniforms carried by the units "zouave" which were handy in the Civil American War.
