Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Museum, Bodmin.
« on: 28 June 2011, 04:13:26 PM »
A few indifferent pictures I took last week, when I visited the museum, which might interest a few enthusiasts.

Officers jacket & equipment from the Egyptian War of 1882.


The bugle which sounded the last call during the Siege of Lucknow

Several Postcard images from the Mutiny period ~










A few are a bit blurred but my camera was n't up to the 'No Flash' rule in the subdued lighting.

Good stuff, esp. the first picture. I’m doing a bit of research on the Egyptian war at the moment. The British were equipped with a real confusion of uniforms, and any info on who wore what is much appreciated.
