Mervyn Mitton Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Rhodesia during the period of UDI (Universal Declaration of Independence) lasted for a very short period of time - to be exact 1965 to 1980. However, Rhodesia itself was formed during the 1890's. The armed forces had a variety of uniforms and I came across in a tube, this series of uniforms for different parts of the Forces. They are drawings and the artist was obviously selling the set. His initials are AJB 75 - should anyone be able to identify him - please post details. There are three sections - Band , Infantry and Officers. I will show the drawing and repeat the date underneath each one for clarity. Apart from interest, I thought they would be good to help with research.
