Stuart Bates Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 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 Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Bates Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 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. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Bates Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Dear Shams, here are a couple of books of illustrations which may help - Uniforms of the Yeomanry Regiments 1783-1911 by P.H. Smitherman50 Years of Yeomanry Uniforms by R.G. HarrisThere 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 9780951571460You may find Yeomanry Wars by Peter D.
