Hurrah and hussar! The modern British Army unit... that wears 1860s uniform

The Honourable Artillery Company has been active since 1537 and is the oldest regiment in the British Army.

It has a long history of tradition, being referred to as a regiment as far back as the 1600s, and remains so to this day.

The HAC also has the distinction, alongside the five regiments of Foot Guards, to be one of few units never to have been amalgamated with another.

Makes you think of Blackadder “ you want me go into no man’s painting pictures of the Germans!”😀

No such thing as a cartouche pouch in the dress regulations of the time, from any regiment. They are officially referred to as a Pouch or Pouch-box.
