DAN 22 Light Dragoons charging 1812-14

 

Please note that the turban cloth was red for all for all Light Dragoon regiments from 1812. This was because the cloth used before (usually in regimental colour) was made from Dutch cloth called "Tamis" was too expensive, so Danish cloth called "Chalon" was ordered to be used, but this was only made in red. Also note that they wear the new grey overalls, already in use from 1808, replacing the older dark blue ones (which if they had them in stock they were allowed "to be worn out, before new ones were distributed")
