Account of Armed forces and armed forces uniforms in Europe

By Paul Waring


The red colour was the uniforms color, adopted by the regiment permanent first of the Brit armed forces, Yeoman of the Guard, Beefeaters, during the reign of Henry VIII. In 1645, this colour was adopted at the time of the first standing armed forces was raised. Red n ' wasn't used to mask the bloodstains. On the contrary, each army adopted certain colours like their countrywide colours. French squaddies inclined to carry blue; Russians carried green; Colombia s ' fitted out with red. With thoese aren't infantry carrying a color bright red, with white cross-belts and coppers shining, easier targets? But in the years 1860, methods of combat were quite different from those applied aujourd ' today.

Before 1866, longarms British was loading by the mouth of the weapons.

To charge these weapons critical to an infantryman with: 1) to be held upright to charge a load with powder and balls downwards in the mouth. 2) to be very close to the enemy so as to strike them, due to the inaccuracy of the arquebus. 3) to hold close full for the cooking of volleyball. It was the quantity of projectiles which counts, not camouflage.

In 1867 , however , the war and times change. With the advent of loading by the cylinder head of rifles of l ' British military in 1866, the quality of the light weapons modified considerably. Faster of the rates of set light to, by a weapon much more reliable, which may be charged in the belly, slowly started to change the tactical doctrines of the army. Change of tactic was not also fast; it might have been because during the last half the years 1800, the Brit army a mode military, provided in a corresponding way isn't beaten. In substance, the tactics used were those which had a direction with the old style of firearms; the methods were to still develop/move to use the weapons most recent. It's a surprise that, recently, the lessons of these new weapons showed the North American Civil War (1861 - 1865) n ' were not soaked up by the British.

Although the bulk of the Western european states had observers on the 2 sides, lessons which should have been drawn were declined, because one estimated that this war was an isolated case, determined by a geography seems like any in Europe. Additionally, he was considered as a brawl" between the unruly armed forces improper. It was critical to await end of the year 1800 that l ' khaki uniform was delivered, l ' British army carry out ultimately that uniforms of dreary color provided a better camouflage in answer to more reliable, faster the weapons of shooting by using the powder without smoke. Once again, the tactics continued d ' to show a delay and it was necessary l ' hecatomb of the First World War to convince the authorities qu ' there was a requirement to put at l ' shelter and to stay hidden, in opposition to the position upright in the formations of combat.

Uniform of the lady The girls of the garrison had a uniform less allowed but which supplied the composition of class and the social order of the time. The wives of the men in the rows wore a cotton dress linked with apron and of a capillary prosthesis called 'avanon. Their shoes are made from leather plain common to the period. It on the other hand distinct with the more decorated dress was carried by the marry d ' an officer, in accord with his position as a citizen of the higher class. In the same way, non combatants employed by the Army of 1867 had their own type of wearing of clothing which indicated their role within l ' Military. The Master of the school carried a black, knuckles frock coat length, while l ' teacher wore a skirt, blouse and the cut of jacket in a style generally known as a "zouave" jacket, similar to the uniforms carried by the units "zouave" which were handy in the Civil American War.
