Bombay Infantry

And another unit for the Indian Army!  This is a basically imaginary unit.  I'm calling it the 16th Bombay Infantry, which really did exist, but I couldn't get precise details on the uniform or the colours, so I made up some of the details.

The uniform is mostly inspired by a drawing from britishempire.com:  https://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyuniforms/indianinfantry/16thbombayinfwymer.htm

So here are the photos.



The regimental colours (hand-painted, whoo-hoo!) are completely imaginary, but are, shall we say "inspired" by history.  So are the turban colours, for that matter.



Command team (English officer, Indian officer, bugler and havildar).
