The red colour was the uniforms color, adopted by the regiment permanent first of the British military, Yeoman of the Guard, Beefeaters, all through the reign of Henry VIII. In 1645, this colour was adopted at the time of the first standing military was raised. Red n ‘ wasn't used to hide the bloodstains. to be exact each armed forces adopted certain colours like their national colours. French soldiers inclined to carry blue; Russians carried green; Colombia s ‘ equipped with red. With thoese aren't infantry carrying a color bright red, with white cross-belts and coppers shining, simpler targets? Nonetheless in the years 1860, strategies of combat were rather dissimilar from those applied aujourd ‘ today.

Before 1866, longarms British was loading by the mouth of the weapons.

To charge these weapons critical to an infantryman with: 1) to be held upright to charge a load with powder and balls downwards in the mouth. 2) to be very close to the enemy so as to strike them, due to the inaccuracy of the arquebus. 3) to hold close full for the cooking of volleyball. It was the quantity of projectiles which counts, not camouflage.

In 1867 nevertheless , the war and times change. With the arrival of loading by the cylinder head of rifles of l ‘ English armed forces in 1866, the standard of the light weapons changed significantly. Quicker of the rates of set fire to, by a weapon much more precise, which could be charged in the belly, slowly changed the tactical doctrines of the armed forces. Change of strategy wasn't also fast; it may have been because in the last half of the years 1800, the English armed forces a mode army, equipped in an identical way is not beaten. In substance, the strategies used were those which had a direction with the traditional style of sidearms; the tactics were to still evolve/move to exploit the weapons latest. It is a surprise that, lately, the teachings of these new weapons showed the American Civil War (1861 – 1865) n ‘ weren't absorbed by the English.

Although the bulk of the Western european states had observers on the 2 sides, lessons which should have been drawn were declined, because one estimated that this war was an isolated case, determined by a geography seems like any in Europe. Additionally, he was considered as a brawl” between the unruly armed forces improper. It was critical to await end of the year 1800 that l ‘ khaki uniform was delivered, l ‘ British army carry out ultimately that uniforms of dreary color provided a better camouflage in answer to more reliable, faster the weapons of shooting by using the powder without smoke. Once again, the tactics continued d ‘ to show a delay and it was necessary l ‘ hecatomb of the First World War to convince the authorities qu ‘ there was a requirement to put at l ‘ shelter and to stay hidden, in opposition to the position upright in the formations of combat.

Uniform of the girl The ladies of the garrison had a uniform less sanctioned but which equipped the anatomy of class and the social order of the time. The other halves of the men in the rows wore a cotton dress linked with apron and of a capillary prosthesis called ‘avanon. Their shoes are made from leather plain common to the period. It on the other hand distinct with the more decorated dress was carried by the marry d ‘ an officer, in harmony with his position as a citizen of the higher class. In the same way, non combatants employed by the Armed forces of 1867 had their own sort of wearing of clothing which indicated their role with l ‘ Army. The Master of the school carried a black, knuckles frock coat length, while l ‘ teacher wore a skirt, blouse and the cut of jacket in a style known as a “zouave” jacket, similar to the uniforms carried by the units “zouave” which were useful in the Civil American War.
