There are some who say they are uniformed as you describe, but there are many sources that suggest that some Anglo Sudanese units had Brown (Dark Khaki) uniforms. Another source states that some Sudanese units in Egyptian service wore blue jerseys. Given that the only evidence comes from black and white pictures we may never know for sure. If there is conclusive proof, then my troops will be shipped off to Cairo. My next battalion will be in blue.Bob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-42382117522773145412021-12-03T01:11:29.431-08:002021-12-03T01:11:29.431-08:00I always thought in the beginning the Sudanese tro...I always thought in the beginning the Sudanese troops had blue wollen jumpers and the Egyptians brown. The Egyptians had a neck-cover, the Sudanese non. <br /><br />Do you have any information, when the Sudanese changed to brown too?<br /><br />You did a great paintjob, these guys are looking very nice:-) <br /><br />cheers<br />UweUwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370662262625093092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-17733932368566969512021-12-02T03:47:43.122-08:002021-12-02T03:47:43.122-08:00There is actually quite a comprehensive range, inc...There is actually quite a comprehensive range, including some wonderful character figures. I like the old toy soldier look too. I think the officer figure is supposed to be Bromhead from the Rorkes Drift range.Bob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-70627073963465827602021-12-02T01:40:13.925-08:002021-12-02T01:40:13.925-08:00They look rather nice Bob…
