| 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 . cheers 90th. |

| 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 . ![Idea](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_idea.png) . cheers 90th. |
