Does anyone know how the Natal Carbineers and Natal Mounted Police would have looked in 1899? Did their appearance change at all during the war? Thanks |

Bretwalda, I am not sure about the Natal Mounted Police, butn the Carabineers were in khaki, with a slouch hat. The leather equipment was different from the British style and included a bandolier and a waist belt with a series of smaller ammo pouches. I hope this helps. Colin |

Oops. Forgot, they did not wear puttees, they wore shoes and leather gaiters. |

Bretwalda, It appears that the Natal Mounted Police wore khaki uniforms and Wolsley helmets with a blue pagri and brown South African pattern leather equipment and boots |
