"Regimental Colours and Standards of Famous Regiments are a historically fascinating subject depicted in detail in Cigarette Cards Sets issued by Gallaher in 1899. Regimental Nicknames such as the Mudlarks are amusing but these cigarette cards issued by Hustler Soap give the origins and meaning of these names. Equally quirky are the names and ranks given to Regimental Pets (Mascots) of which there is a long tradition in the armed forces. Used for ceremonial occasions ferrets and bears are included in this set issued by BAT in 1911. Regimental Drum Horses also play their part in the colourful history of British Cavalry Regiments through the ages shown in these Cigarette Cards Sets." Main page link Amicalement Armand |
