Winter Clothing for the British Troops in the Crimea, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Winter Clothing for the British Troops in the Crimea, 1854. To protect our troops from the rigour of the Crimean winter, a variety of new provision has been made in the clothing, with almost unexampled rapidity...The head dress, or cap, is composed of sealskin, shaped after the fashion of those worn by the Arctic Region explorers, and made to be almost round the entire head. The cap to be worn by the officers is composed of fine brown fur, " helmet shape, " and lined with brown silk...The officer's coat, or cloak, is made in the military style, and is composed of richly-finished fur...Officers and men will alike wear very strong overalls, to be composed of cow hide...We may confidently anticipate the winter clothing will be a great boon to our gallant troops'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
