| Hi John, Just posted the photo and credited you. This is also puzzling them/me The (Olivier Pichat) painting of the Prince Imperial in Zululand - it supposedly very accurate - down to the Prince's brown boots and escort uniforms but Carey is in a red tunic - do you know if that was right on the day?

| Sime,
Thanks for doing that.
It is feasible for Jahleel Carey to have been in scarlet, he might have scrounged it from somewhere. Don’t forget he had lost all of his own kit with the loss of the Clyde, and would have had to rely replacement kit acquired by various means.
Thanks again.
