The regiment can be recognized through the regimental pattern
pouch belt, as well as the busby with red plume.
The
head-quarters of the 15th Hussars left Norwich for York on April
14th, 1868.
They will stay there for over a year before embarking for India,
as related by The Times on August
14th,
1869 :
"Yesterday the troopship Simoom arrived in the Mersey from
Quebec, and landed the 13th Hussars, consisting of 19 officers, 7
officers' wives, and 10 officers' children, 403 men, 71 women, and
103 children. In the course of the day the troops left for York,
and the Simoom at once proceeded to take on board the 15th Hussars,
from York, and will take them round to Portsmouth, en route for
Chichester, whence they will shortly leave for India."
