Was about time ... http://www.home.datacomm.ch/dierk.walte ... /index.htm ... btw, does anyone have a good picture of a British general officers' epaulette (or however you call those things that look like knitted golden panholders attached to the shoulders <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>)? <font color=gold>Colonel D.S.

True!<img src="http://216.40.201.38/cwm/cwm/uhoh3.gif" border=0> But, sometimes sites can lead to others. I did a quick search and found these in about 5 minutes of checking. Some interesting stuff that I went back and read. Especially about the uniforms and the influences of British uniforms and customs on the American forces.<img src="http://216.40.201.38/contrib/corky/corkysm17.gif" border=0> <b><font color=gold>Ernie Sands BGen, 3rd East Kent,CCC President, Colonial Camp Club Col,1 Konig,VIII,AdR LtGen,CO XXIII Corps AoO Sch,183Inf,VIII,PzC Pvt B Co, 3/3-MBC </b></font id=gold> |

True. They lead to some very interesting re-enactment sites &c. But unfortunately, general officer's dress and insignia is nowhere covered in any detail. It must be due to re-enactors usually being company officers, NCOs, and enlisted. There is every detail on how a corporal was dressed and equipped, but few such detail for field officers, and nothing for general officers. Does anyone maybe own the Osprey book on "Wellington's Generals"? <font color=gold>Colonel D.S. Walter O.S.M.

I keep playing around with the site ... how boring to have only one epaulette! And what about a sash ... <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> <font color=gold>Colonel D.S. Walter O.S.M.
