HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 4 April , 2006 Share Posted 4 April , 2006 It is Victorian,circa 1880~90's As taken in Pembroke Dock it may well be one of the Welsh Regiments the light facings{Collar/Cuffs} will probaly indicate a Regt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta Posted 4 April , 2006 Share Posted 4 April , 2006 No reason why the Lincolns should not have been at PD - many English Bns were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Stewart Posted 4 April , 2006 Share Posted 4 April , 2006 Gents, White facings were introduced in 1881 with the jam-pot cuff for all "none Royal" English and Welsh infantry regiments. Those regiments which were designated as "Royal" regiments continued to wear blue facings. None Royal Scots regiments had yellow facings and none Royal Irish regiments green. The Rifle Regiments were uneffected by these changes. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom A McCluskey Posted 6 April , 2006 Share Posted 6 April , 2006 Paul, Looks like he is wearing a 'Frock'. It was more loose fitting than the tunic, and had no piping. It was often worn as an 'undress' jacket for walking out. Also, the stick is a good indicator that he is in walking out dress. As Graham stated, I think the English & Welsh line Regiments wore white facings/cuffs at this period in time. It is a good photo, Hope this helps Tom McC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
