The trousers were white. For all uniforms the cross belts were either black or untreated leather, not white. The first unit have shoes and shakos, but just as many wore only sandals or were barefoot. The gorillo fatigue cap (similar to that worn by the Spanish and French Napoleonic armies) was also very common. Both the Shakos, and fatigue caps had a large roundel in the Gran Colombian colours (red,blue and yellow). I'll post up some original imgaes from the period to give you an idea. Again though, primary sources for uniform data for the Northern campaigns are few.<br />Regards,<br />MarkThe Wilde Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078032098900017477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724602021291266733.post-7537551948966653172013-10-07T20:16:09.153+02:002013-10-07T20:16:09.153+02:00Excellent stuff.
