Thanks Leigh, that did lead on to a nice find, a set of the Gallagher cards scanned by the New York Public Library plus some other sets of army badge cards - https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/...2%9C%93&page=1 I wonder why Gallagher's didn't do more regiments? I couldn't find amongst them the following (in no particluar order)
Duke of Wellington’s Regt (West Riding)
Manchester Regt
Gordon Highlanders
Suffolk Regt
Hampshire Regt
South Wales Borderers
Durham Light Infantry
North Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales’s)
Essex Regt
But from the FrontierNet set I've got colours for the above.
Amazing what's out there.
