SOE034 ‘Skinner’s Horse British Officer’

British officers serving in ‘Skinner’s Horse’ had a choice of TWO dress uniforms. They could wear the Indian-style, complete with turban and other Indian dress accoutrements or they could opt for the more traditional European-style ‘Lancer’ dress uniform in the regimental colours.

This officer has decided on the ‘European’ option. Some wealthy officers however had both.
