Love the colors you used to paint them.
Well done.

They look the business!!! :)

I like the blue tousers. I have never seen this particular unit before. Great work!

Thank you. Indeed, many parts of Afghanistan continued to wear their blue trousers. As approximately 67 Hampshire Infantry Regiment.
-
Here are examples of the use of native blue trousers with khaki jackets. And in the infantry and cavalry.
-
Useful pics Andrei thank you.
-
Very nice figures, it's nice to see so much colour amongst all that khaki!
-
Thank you all. I am glad to help! ;)

Andrei1975: I have a question about the last picture. Presumably 'Full Dress' would be worn for parades and ceremonies, 'Field Dress' would be worn when 'in the field' (duh) but what about 'Stable Dress'. Stable Dress suggests to me they wore it riding (as opposed to dining with the Raj or patrolling the countryside), or was it actually just an alternate uniform?

You have to help this information. It is about the 9 th regiment, but I believe, and in the 17th it was all the same:

Stable dress was (is) the term for what is worn when doing day-to-day duties around a unit's permanent location, particularly in the stables grooming the horses which takes up a lot of a cavalryman's day. For infantry it is barrack dress for similar, self explanatory, reasons... The American term is 'fatigues' because you wear it when doing those routine day to day duties known as fatigues; you can see the theme here! For the junior soldiers it is often a practical and hard wearing uniform that will cope with often dirty duties. For the officers and NCOs it is more comfortable wear for office work and supervising the troops. You wouldn't expect weapons or equipment to be carried, except by those detailed to guard duty for which there would be yet another form of dress, often based on full dress.

Thank you; makes total sense.
