These
photos show some early uniforms of the Warwickshire
Yeomanry, a straight tunic without any kind of braiding.
The Hussar busby, with white busby-bag and white plume (horsehair
for other ranks), was introduced in 1863.
The conversion to Hussars would be completed with the introduction
of six rows of chest braiding in 1867.
