Just a quick question.
The Portuguese I'm doing for the next couple of brigades are commanded by British officers. Did they wear British uniform or were they issued with Portuguese uniform? Or was it a bit of a mish mash and whatever they could get away with?
I have read several different takes on it. Beresford was apparently a bit of a stickler for these things but then promptly ignored it when he was on campaign, and his own ADC wore his British dragoon uniform for several years when he was supposed to wear Portuguese uniform.
As D'urban was seconded for a good few years, setting up the Portuguese PMG, I'd assume he had Portuguese uniform, but I'm leaning to British uniform with maybe a Portuguese ADC to represent the next Brigade command model.
Bill.
