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 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 , however , the war and times change. With the advent of loading by the cylinder head of rifles of l ' British military in 1866, the quality of the light weapons modified considerably. Faster of the rates of set light to, by a weapon much more reliable, which may be charged in the belly, slowly started to change the tactical doctrines of the army. Change of tactic was not also fast; it might have been because during the last half the years 1800, the Brit army a mode military, provided in a corresponding way isn't beaten. In substance, the tactics used were those which had a direction with the old style of firearms; the methods were to still develop/move to use the weapons most recent. It's a surprise that, recently, the lessons of these new weapons showed the North American Civil War (1861 - 1865) n ' were not soaked up by the British.

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.
