Hi all,
Can anyone advise on the horse furniture used at the battle of Aliwal please, I have conflicting information regarding the use of a black sheepskin saddle cloth and other pictures that appear to show a conventional blanket of blue/grey colour.

thanks in anticipation,

Steve

Military Illustrated had an article on the 16th at Aliwal.
I've scanned the whole item for you.
Page 19 has a section explaining the saddle cloths.



Cheers,
Andrew

Perfect, many thanks for this Andrew.
