Hello iansr54

The figures I'd use would be the Regular Army summer uniform but only the ones wearing the Isabelino cap from this page http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Inter-War-c18/SCW-Regular-Army-summer-dress-sc186/ (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Inter-War-c18/SCW-Regular-Army-summer-dress-sc186/). The SFL apparently disdained helmets as 'sissy'.

In fact, nobody in the army in north Africa used helmets, but SFL continued this "tradition" in the peninsula.
