15th Kings Light Dragoons (Hussars) - Uniform and Harness

[riffraff1]

Dear All,

I am currently researching the above unit and would be most grateful for any help. I am looking for any primary source research on this unit between 1809 and 1815. I have uncovered (thanks to the wonderful journal currently overseen by Col Guy Sayle) some extracts from the Adjutants journal, this being from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, contradicts several published works (Mollo etc). Seeing as the Sealed patterns were destroyed in the 1800s, I am after anything original (photos) or documents on this units uniform and equipment, what would be best is a copy of a Taylors Book dealing with the 15th (or any Hussar unit of the period).

Thank you
