hi
While on the subject of british uniforms could someone tell me if I've got the following correct and answer a couple of questions.
At the start of the war tricorns and long coats would have been worn. Would this have been the same in the north and to the south?
For the Saratoga campaign Burgoyne had his troops cut down there coats and alter there hats. Did the troops left around New York do the same or did they continue wearing there uniform unaltered.
Did troops only wear the slouch hat in the southern states?
I have pictures of troops in, I think there called roundabout jacket, were these worn in all areas?
many thanks
