Creation 2009 (Royal Marine uniform question) (1 Viewer)

New movie about Charles Darwin. (I reserved it on NETFLIX as it may not be released in theaters in the United States.)


I think that the Royal Marine uniforms in the film are "off" for the late 1820s.

The uniforms in your illustration look more like Napoleonic than late 1820s. At that time the headdress should be a bell topped shako and the jacket should have long tails.

That's what I thought. I wasn't able to find an exact uniform on-line for the Royal Marines but I found other period British uniforms as you describe. Thank you.
