I know that this has been discussed before but I couldn't find the discussion. What color were the trousers of the British Guards at Waterloo? Grey like the other British infantry or another color? v/r Joe |

Grey is what I would expect too! But then, they are your troops, you could have a little variation if you wished. Maybe a well appointed officer or two in white. |
