So the Gloucestershires are famous for retaining their stovepipes with the back badge. On the front the crown over 28 with "Barossa" above and "Peninsula" below. It's in every picture of them. So does anyone have any definitive evidence of what they had on their shakos before they were awarded the honours "Barossa" and "Peninsula", i.e. in Spain? |

Thanks, but those are post 1815 I fear. My issue is that they can only carry the honours Barossa and Peninsula after they were awarded (in 1814). So what did the shako have on it in 1811? |

Presumably the standard large stamped shako plate, like all the rest of the Line regiments. In the absence of any specific information otherwise, that's the likely case. |

The Soldiers of Gloucestershire museum has a watercolor plate in their collection showing shakos in 1800 & 1815: link |

If only I'd thought of that! I'll not be filing off the Perry plates then. Thank you. |
