Captain in the Cheshire Yeomanry (Earl of Chester's) (Hussars)


This Captain is wearing the Light Dragoons tunic, with scarlet facings and five loops of silver cords, that was introduced in 1857.

The regiment adopted the busby in 1863.
The busby bag is white, and the headdress is typical for its Prussian pattern, plaited cap lines and chin scales.
