I'm doing a unit of Brunswick Oels infantry for the Peninsular. I have a few sources but they are all pretty vague outside of saying blue facings.
Pictures show them, in short jackets, with and without blue cuffs and I can't decide which is right for the Peninsular. My figures (Front Rank) all have short jackets. Which is right, please?
One last thing if anyone knows. I'm presuming that officers wore crimson sashes, and sergeants blue striped crimson sashes in the Peninsular (sashes in national colours were only for Austrian service and for 1815?), am I right?
Please, can anyone help me out?
Best,
James.
