Doe’s anyone have a photo, or point me in the direction of a photo of a button that the NMP worn on their tunics during the Zulu war. (Would it have been the General Service Button?

hi john.
Not sure where you can find a picture of their buttons , but almost certainly they wouldnt be wearing the Imperial
General Service Buttons as they were a Colonial Force and no doubt had their own buttons .

hi john.
I have spent a couple of hours on the net but havent located a picture of the NMP Buttons .
I can tell you the tunic had 5 Buttons made of Brass , no mention of any insignia on the button.
I will keep serching . .

Same here John. Coming up with nothing. I would have thought all the mounted colonial units had the same buttons.

Hi chard1879.
I dont think all the Mtd Colonial Units would have had the same buttons , all their Badges were differant so I would assume
the Tunic Buttons would also differ from one unit to another , as usual happy to be corrected . .

Well I did not think this forum was so additive, but I have spent hours looking for an image of this button. Nothing so far.

But I’m celebrating my first argument, 9th July 2010. 11:48 pm. with my missus over my newly found hobby. :lol!:

Hi Impi.

I joined !!!. I know I'm in trouble when she says, ' Are you still talking to your dead friends ' ?. Come and watch tv with me !.
cheers 90th. :lol!: .

But who will win. The Forum or the Missis.. :lol!: :lol!:

hi 24th.
In answer to your question .............. usually the Forum .

Hi john.
I have been informed by a collegue who thinks the NMP Tunic Button had the same mongrame as their
Helmet Plate , I tend to agree , but still havent been able to find a picture of one as yet. Hope this helps .
