Easy one for me to answer. I've always loved seeing the Officers who served in India during the mutiny in 1857. East very much meeting West. Dighton Probyn V.C
Hey up! I love it, "The closing of the border ceremony" John Cleese and the ministry of silly walks has nothing on this lot or maybe they were his inspiration. The best part of it is it happens every day!!! India Pakistan Wagah Attari Border Closing Ceremony (By Sanjeev Bhaskar - The Longest Road). - YouTube ATB Simon
Although the uniform isn't ostentatious this Civil War officer demonstrates a fine sense of style. The flutter in his left eye would indicate he was forced to hold a pose for a long exposure. Avoiding a duel with this guy would probably be a good idea ...
Can't find my own pics I took of these Japanese Archers when they came to Leeds, so I knicked a pic off Flickr, courtesy of: Einharch's photostream Even the horse gets in on the act!
Ulrich, but that was considered 'camo' at the time, same as with the Brit Rifle regiments, the 60th and 95th. Nice to see old Knötel, thanks for the link Still on the subject a well known but worthy piece: Scotland Forever!
You´re right, compared to the shiny armor of a Drgaoon or the colourful uniforms of the Infantery regiments it was a camo. Sadly your Link won´t work.

Yes the uniforms of the French and British were really fantastic at this time.
