By Paul Waring


The red colour was the uniforms color, adopted by the regiment permanent first of the Brit armed forces, Yeoman of the Guard, Beefeaters, during the reign of Henry VIII. In 1645, this colour was adopted at the time of the first standing armed forces was raised. Red n ' wasn't used to mask the bloodstains. On the contrary, each army adopted certain colours like their countrywide colours. French squaddies inclined to carry blue; Russians carried green; Colombia s ' fitted out with red. With thoese aren't infantry carrying a color bright red, with white cross-belts and coppers shining, easier targets? But in the years 1860, methods of combat were quite different from those applied aujourd ' today.

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

To charge these weapons important to a foot soldier with: 1) to be held upright to charge a load with powder and balls downwards in the mouth. 2) to be close to the enemy in order to strike them, due to the inaccuracy of the arquebus. 3) to hold close entire for the cooking of volleyball. It was the measure of projectiles 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.

But the majority of the European countries had observers on the 2 sides, lessons which should have been drawn were refused, because one surmised that this war was an isolated case, decided by a geography resembles any in Europe. Furthermore, he was thought of as a brawl" between the unruly armies unacceptable. It was important to await end of the year 1800 that l ' khaki uniform was delivered, l ' Brit military carry out eventually that uniforms of dull color provided a better camouflage in answer to more precise, quicker the weapons of shooting by utilizing the powder without smoke. Once again, the strategies continued d ' to show a delay which was obligatory l ' hecatomb of the First World War to win over the authorities qu ' there was a need to put at l ' shelter and to stay out of sight, 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.
