Sharpe's men go back to their green uniforms. __ In the Peninsular War, a British sergeant is field promoted to a lieutenant in charge of a disrespectful rifle company.
"Let them wear the green jackets that mean so much to them." There is an officer who truly understands the men under his command.

Colours really meant a lot to people back then, it would become a large part of their identity and usually kept them in some form or another after their service. I once read about some riflemen who fought around this time, and they'd insist on keeping green in their fashion in their day-to-day lives. It wasn't just the King's colours that resonated with them, and that's a fantastic detail that the team on this show captured.

Not only that, it often showed what was important to soldiers throughout history, like this scene here. Move it ahead 200 years and you get the reaction US Army Rangers had when the Army went with the black beret for all soldiers. They rightly took it as an insult as the black beret defined them as elite for more than 30 years.

There are a few historical reasons they would not. Rifle theory of engagement was as a skirmisher, to pick off soldiers of the opposing side out of musket range, as they marched towards the British, and as a rear guard, both required mobility and speed. The pistol and its shot, being different, due to the special ammo for the Bakers rifle would be extra weight. At Waterloo, some of the Rifles ran out of ammunition while defending a barn and courtyard, they did not miss much.

Yep, rifles actually hit close to where they were aimed unlike smoothbore muskets. The rifle ball was wrapped in leather so it would grip the rifling, but it took longer to load. The rifles were usually sent out ahead of the infantry line as skirmishes, trying to pick off officers etc. The French had voltiguers which were but Napoleon really undervalued the rifle so they had smoothbore muskets and were less effective per man. In terms of grand strategy of the time skirmishers were more if an annoyance but the americans and later the boers would show how effective that sort of harassing could be

And they occasionally have parts of there jackets ripped or missing or out of place. There uniforms are also often covered in mud in some places. Even there belts other things like the ammunition pouches and bayonet sheaths are out of place or even missing. This is the british army they are well funded and the soldiers are held to a higher standard in terms of discipline , hygiene and uniform care. Why do they always look like this???? In this series.

Lack of funding and not being able to provide everyone with a nice looking uniform most likely, also theres a trend in these kinds of shows to make everything dirtier than it actually was.

Also uniforms are not always kept up to snuff when out in the field, not an excuse here as they are clearly being reviewed somewhat

Spend weeks or months in the field with no way to transport new equipment save horses or foot, no modern cleaning facilities (even in cities it was a washtub). Add combat to that, sentry duty in all weather, and so on. It was a miracle they even had uniforms after a while, especially when you consider they had to maintain it themselves, a bunch of thugs often learning to see and mend clothing or paying camp followers to do it out of their own pockets. They even had neutral boots I believe, 3 of them, so that they could keep rotating them to the right or and get more use out of them. Also the red often bled out over time to pink due to water and sun being on them all the time. a dirty and shitty life by today's standards, and for most people then as well most likely save those with no other options like Tongue early on in the series

Well, that's how an army looks when it's out campaigning, especially when it comes to the enlisted men. Accounts of the time even say that the red jackets of the British would fade to a more dark purple or pink, due to the sun and the dyes used, when they weren't mended with whatever cloth they could find. As for being well funded, the Army was seen as an afterthought, with the real British effort being put towards the Royal Navy, which had the job of blockading all of Europe at this time. Being an island nations, it's no wonder why the Royal Navy was seen as the Senior Service, seeing as even the greatest armies of Napoleon would have to cross the channel in order to invade England.

@@austinweinreich719 on account of the fading, sometimes they actually accounted for this by firdt dyeing the cloth a darker colour first, to where over time it would then fade to the correct colour, also maybe why white was a surprisingly good choice, doesnt fade, if it stains and you cant remove it, dab some pipe clay on it, its fine.

Sean Bean and the boys were great in this. Just a pity it wasn’t made by Netflix with a real budget. The battle of Waterloo with 50 blokes on each side was a bit disappointing.

To be fair the budget provided for the excellent actors in this series, so it was money well spent. I'd rather have good acting than big battle scenes any day.

from what I recall, the armies generals would usually bring their families/wives with them on campaigns, so they where almost always on or near the battles. It also was uncommon for a woman to know how to operate a rifle if their husbands, fathers, or brothers taught them how to do so to defend themselves. It isn't "Feminism" its "In case I get shot and can't protect you I want you to be able to do it yourself" ism sure during the time women where viewed as "property" to some extent but i'm pretty sure some men back then did teach how to load a weapon to women as they wouldn't be completely helpless, or a woman found a way to teach herself.

@@pauladams4886 Do you complain about all those old Western movies as well, where women reload the rifles? It's not exactly black magic that needs years of introduction. I can teach a bum off the street how to reload a musket in under ten minutes (of teaching, not reloading obviously). You really think a woman exposed to war for years on end wouldn't be able to handle a weapon? This isn't a "modern feminist" invention, it's something that happened and had been described in relevant literature long before "feminism" even became a thing.
