Timothy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Are you sure that the officer's foreign service helmet is khaki rather than rifle green/black. It appears to be exactly the same shade as his left cuff, which certainly is rifle green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Timothy, I couldnt say for sure what colour it is, I am going by the overall colour of the doublet which looks to me much darker than the helmet....and in comparison to the original posted photo of the helmet, thats almost black looking in the photograph.

Busterdog Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've seen photos of Gurkha officers wearing black/rifle green FSH (not covers) taken in the 1890s. Perhaps 1st Cameronians did too. The Bugler's hairstyle - Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) didn't call them Drummers - unlike 'Heavy' Line Regiments, would suggest the mid 1890s. His 'trade' badge would be a bugle horn.
