The different types of pith helmet worn by the cavalry is interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WyF8KaVyt8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WyF8KaVyt8)

Staged refight, British uniforms might be of interest though..

In the second video I am pleased to see several mounted Boers wearing white or light-colored slouch hats.  My buddy Ben painted my Boers with a couple of light hats and until now I had always thought he made a mistake, and that the Boer hats should have all been dark colored. 

Great, thanks for posting these.
