Civil war groups tends to be purple, blue or grey, IIRC.

any idea what it could've been then? It looked like it was definitely pre-Regency/Napoleonic, given the floppy hats and knee britches and what the women were wearing...

[burntcopper]

on checking a bunch of images, definitely english civil war.

Just had a look at wikipedia now, and it seems the New Model Army were redcoats. Fancy that.

[gmh]

The original Redcoats at that, and the first standardised national battledress in the world, as far as I'm aware.

[silly_swordsman]

Roman legions?

[gmh]

Duh, of course.

Don't mind me, I'm in the dense corner eating my words.
