In the Boer and Zulu Wars, were their entire uniforms dark green or just the tunics (i.e., green tunic with blue pants)? |

All the stuff I've seen has dark green tunic and trousers. The Boer War, I've seen as khaki. Eric |

Would they have been wearing the same green uniform during the 2nd Afgan War? |

I painted mine in the green uniforms and use them for all Victorian battles. Just think it makes them look more unique whether historically correct or not. |

The figures above are 28mm Empress Miniatures painted by Fernando Enterprises in Sri Lanka. The 2 figures on the left are to be part of a Gatling gun section. |
