Must have been a nightmare to keep clean. I still think that this might have a laundered cover. I feel that I can see gentle puckering along the edges. It would in my opinion have been the only practicable way to keep it clean without making it crusty with a whitening paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that i must have been absolute Horror to keep clean, even when the F.S covers where introduced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that i must have been absolute Horror to keep clean, even when the F.S covers where introduced! I wonder if there’s anything in the regimental history. If cotton drill covers, as I think they probably were, they would have been starched and laundered regularly under QM and SQMS arrangements, and probably fitted partly by drawstring and partly by hooks and eyes. I’m not suggesting a GS issue, but something arranged regimentally. Edited 27 February , 2019 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Brayley Posted 4 March , 2019 Share Posted 4 March , 2019 (edited) List of Brodrick patch Colours for the Hussars. All Brodricks except the 11th Hussars (Crimson) and 13th Hussars (2nd Pattern was white) were initially scarlet until 1903 then made from "Drummers red cloth". From June 1904 all patches (except 11H and 13H and 15th who retained Scarlet) patches were to be drummer red for all Hussars regiments. Unit Patch 3H Garter Blue 4H Yellow 7H Scarlet 8H " 10H " 11H Crimson 13H Light Buff (later white cap with blue patch) 14H Yellow 15H Scarlet 18H Royal Blue 19H Scarlet 20H Crimson Edited 21 March , 2019 by Toby Brayley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROGSMILE Posted 4 March , 2019 Share Posted 4 March , 2019 (edited) Interesting to get that detail such as the “drummer red”, Toby. Thanks for posting it. Edited 4 March , 2019 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max7474 Posted 6 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 6 March , 2019 Now if someone could find a 19th Hussar in a Brodrick then that would be something. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the blue and white vandkyed patch. I doubt we will see another! I have made an attempted at replicating it on paint.
