Dear Shams,

I only have a little information on the Shropshire Yeomanry and here it is -

"Uniform - Officer: Dragoon helmet, white over scarlet plume. Dragoon tunic with scarlet collar, cuffs and piping, laced and braided gold, special cuff ornamentation (that really helps). Gold laced pouch belt and slings. Overalls blue with broad scarlet stripe. White gauntlet gloves."

I have a mess uniform to the Lothian & Berwick's and it is of the Dragoon pattern.

You certainly have eclectic tastes and difficult ones to track down at that

The illustration is of the Earl of Kilmorney, Honorary Colonel, 1897. From the description of the uniform, in the book, it is not clear whether the cuff and collar differed from the one illustrated to officers of lower ranks.

Sorry, Shams, but I don't have any more information. You could contact the Regimental museum who should be able to help.

Dear Shams,

here are a couple of books of illustrations which may help -

1. Uniforms of the Yeomanry Regiments 1783-1911 by P.H. Smitherman
2. 50 Years of Yeomanry Uniforms by R.G. Harris
3. There is also a series of booklets The Uniforms of the British Yeomanry Force 1794-1914 by various authors and published by The Ogilby Trust .The one on the Staffordshire Yeomanry is ISBN 0-9515714-6-X or 9780951571460
4. You may find Yeomanry Wars by Peter D. Athawes useful but it is not a uniform book

Hi - Shams. I can't really help you with some of the info. you require - and it does seem members have it at their 'fingertips'. However, please satisfy my curiosity - what do you need so much information for - are you writing a book on British Regts. who served in India ? Anyway best wishes and keep 'chasing' Stuart .....
