I just painted the Prince of Wales's Own using Old Glory 28mm figures:
The Prince was the Colonel of the unit from 1796 until he became King George IV in 1820. He championed the introduction of Hussars into the British army, and this was the uniform adopted in 1806; note the unique yellow bags on the brown busbys of the men,contrasted with the grey busbys and red bags for the officers. The unit later changed its facings to red when it became a "Royal" uinit in 1811, and then again to blue in 1814. More pictures and regimental history of "the Shiny 10th" on my blog at: link Peter |

I also did enjoy your nice research work. The discussion on the regt standard especially…of course they simply must carry it. Well done for noting the trumpeter's horse not in grey and the need for docked tails….do I recall that is not strictly the term? were they not "cobbed" or some such word? No it was "nagged", slightly more humane…. TMP link |

Thank you, Gents. "nagged" tails is a little better, but not much! There is a fair chance they carried the standard in 1808 -1809, but very unlikely thereafter… except in my army! I think the British Cavalry standards are very attractive, while much simpler than their infantry counterparts. [As noted in the post I have cheated by using the King's color of the 15th… which unit will be the next one up.] |
