I'm a little curious though; Why is he wearing a Cavalry insignia (crossed sabers) with an Infantry cord (blue)?
Unless military tradition has changed a lot since I was in the Army, the color designation for Cavalry always was yellow .(Artillery = red)
Notice the background color of the Regimental (Unit?) Standard he is carryiing; it is yellow, which is proper for that Branch of Service.
Now if you see a chappie running around with orange trim on his uniform, he's a really old Veteran; The Army hasn't had any Dragoons for quite some time now, that I'm aware of!
Anyway - looks a lot better and is probably significantly more practical than those silly "berets" eh?
