I got "bugged" last time so will try again. I am away from home at present, so do not have access to my military history books. Can anyone tell me the facing colour of the British 5th Marines in 1742? Rod |

Many thanks. I had a vague recollection of buff or yellow from my reprint of the 1742 Cloathing Book, but I must have got that wrong. Rod |
