Martyn: Thanks. They also fought in the Boer War. Would their uniforms have been the same? Tommy

Hi Tommy

No the uniform that the Royal Berkshire Regiment wore in 1899-1902 would have been the basic khaki that all British Army Regiments had adopted by then :salute::

The last stand of the 66th Regiment at the battle of Maiwand on July 27, 1880. Bobbie the dog survived and was awarded the Afgan War Medal by Queen Victoria. Afgans are not from Trophy.
