Title: YEOMANRY CAVALRY CIRCA-1890
Post by: Curassier on January 10, 2020, 04:35:45 PM

I am wondering if any of the lovely Empress Zulu War Volunteer cavalry units would have uniforms similar to any British Yeomanry Cavalry of the period ? I would love to use some in a fictional scenario for the 1880's/1890's.
Any illustrations of suitably uniforms units would be even better. Thanks
JM

I certainly plan to use some of them as fictional volunteer or yoemanry regiments in my Heligoland “whatif” campaign. Great figures...
