Nick Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Anyone know what museum houses the only surviving Napoleonic Rifle Officers Dolman ? I would like to get some photo's of it for a project. But I am not sure if it is in the National Army Museum or elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Only seen a replica at The Army Museum. What about the Greenjackets Museum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufty Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Only seen a replica at The Army Museum. What about the Greenjackets Museum ?HI All, New member here ! The Rifle Officers Dolman/Jacket is in the Royal Greenjackets museum in Winchester, Hampshire. It's a lovely and extremely rare piece along with some superb Napoleonic displays and paintings. Well worth a visit as there are also two other museums on-site to other regiments/branches of the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tufty Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Cheers I will try and get there.Welcome to the forum.Hi Nick, Great site by the way. Some of the personal collections are breathtakingly good and extensive. I am a major Napoleonic and Battle of Britain enthusiast, and I have some good original items, but I am also interested in other Military campaigns such as the Crimea, WW1 & 2 and the Zulu Wars. It's impossible to cover everything ! Do you know anyone on the forum who is an expert on Luftwaffe uniforms I can write to ? Someone has offered me a private/NCO jacket from 1939, a "Waffenrock" I believe. I need to check the authenticity before parting with wads of cash !

peter monahan Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 [attachmentid=56232]NickThis the uniform of an officer of the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles, raised in Upper Canada in 1812, mostly from Scots ex-soldiers settled in eastern Kingston. The "Glens" modelled themselves on the ^0th and 95th Rifles, thopugh they were disbanded in 1816 before their baker Rifles.This uniform is a very carefully researched and beautifully constructed reproduction of a GLI uniform, based as i understand it, very very closely on a Rifles uniform. if You like i can post or PM you more photos of the same outfit.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
