Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers 1880 Indian uniform?
« on: December 08, 2013, 10:13:53 AM »
I'm working on an Afghanistan Dr. Watson from his time assigned to the 66th foot during the battle of Maiwand.  I assume that he'd still be wearing his 5th Fusiliers uniform, but try as I might I can't find a picture of what an India service/1880 5th fusiliers uniform would look like, which I need to know to get the colors right (I assume it's a standard infantry tunic).  I've got a lot of Osprey books, but it's not in those, nor anything else I can find.  Anyone have a reference pic lying around?
Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.
