The artist Godfrey Brennen made a copy of a contemporary watercolour signed WW. It is valuable evidence of the uniform soon after the adoption of the shako by British officers of the eight BLC regiments. Details are obscure and there is no indication of which regiment these men belong to. The uniform is hussar in style but the jackboots were more usually worn by heavy cavalry. The silver braided jacket has orange facings and there is a gold and crimson girdle around his waist. The shako has a gilt badge on the front and a broad silver lace band around the top. The gold cap-lines fall behind, looping under the right arm to hook onto the front of his jacket. The falling horsehair plume is unclear but a painting of an officer of the 5th BLC of similar vintage shows a white and red plume. The 5 BLC officer also has a silver laced dress pouch-belt, so the white belt shown here is undress for parade or marching order. The sabretache, however would not have been worn in those orders of dress and is clearly meant to be for dress occasions. It is laced and embroidered with silver on a dark ground. It is slung very low, in contrast to the sabretache worn by Captain Robert Frith c1793.
The other figure is a native trooper in undress uniform which is an unbraided French grey jacket with orange facings. His cap is indistinct but looks like an undress French-style item. Both the officer and the trooper have valises on the back of their saddles.
