History of Army and military uniforms in Europe
The red color was the uniforms colour, adopted by the regiment permanent first of the Brit armed forces, Yeoman of the Guard, Beefeaters, in the reign of Henry VIII. In 1645, this colour was adopted at the time of the first standing armed forces was raised. Red n ' was not used to mask the bloodstains. To the contrary, each armed forces adopted certain colors like their national colors. French soldiers inclined to carry blue; Russians carried green; Colombia s ' fitted out with red. With thoese aren't infantry carrying a colour bright red, with white cross-belts and coppers shining, simpler targets? However , in the years 1860, strategies of combat were different from those applied aujourd ' today.
Before 1866, longarms English was loading by the mouth of the weapons.
To charge these weapons necessary to a soldier with: 1) to be held upright to charge a load with powder and balls down in the mouth. 2) to be terribly close to the enemy in order to strike them, due to the inaccuracy of the arquebus. 3) to hold close full for the cooking of volleyball. It was actually the bulk of projectiles which counts, not camouflage.
In 1867 nevertheless , the war and times change. With the appearance of loading by the cylinder head of rifles of l ' English armed forces in 1866, the quality of the light weapons modified greatly. Quicker of the rates of set light to, by a weapon much more reliable, which could be charged in the belly, slowly changed the tactical doctrines of the military. Change of tactic wasn't also fast; it might have been because in the last 1/2 the years 1800, the Brit armed forces a mode army, provided in a similar way is not beaten. In substance, the strategies used were those which had a direction with the old style of sidearms; the methods were to still germinate/move to take advantage of the weapons most recent. It is surprising that, latterly, the teachings of these new weapons showed the North American Civil War (1861 - 1865) n ' were not soaked up by the UK.
Although the great majority of the Western european states had observers on the 2 sides, lessons which should have been drawn were refused, because one worked out that this war was an isolated case, set by a geography is like any in Europe. Furthermore, he was considered as a fight" between the unruly armed forces wrong. It was critical to await end of the year 1800 that l ' khaki uniform was delivered, l ' British armed forces carry out ultimately that uniforms of leaden color provided a better camouflage in answer to more reliable, faster the weapons of shooting by using the powder without smoke. Once more, the methods continued d ' to show a delay which was obligatory l ' hecatomb of the First World War to win over the authorities qu ' there was a need to put at l ' shelter and to stay concealed, in opposition to the position upright in the formations of combat.
Uniform of the young woman The ladies of the garrison had a uniform less approved but which equipped the general anatomy of class and the social order of the time. The wives of the men in the rows wore a cotton dress linked with apron and of a capillary prosthesis called 'avanon. Their shoes are made of 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 agreement with his position as a voter of the higher class. In the same way, non combatants employed by the Military of 1867 had their own type of wearing of clothing which indicated their role within l ' Ground forces. The Master of the school carried a black, knuckles frock coat length, while l ' teacher wore a skirt, shirt and the cut of jacket in a style known as a "zouave" jacket, like the uniforms carried by the units "zouave" which were useful in the Civil American War.
