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>)?

Thanks, Ernie - some great websites.
No panholders though. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

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>

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"?

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>

Didn't know that regiments had nicknames, either ... nice. <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
