Тоже горцы

Фотография из оспреевской книжки "Queen Victoria's Enemies #3 India" (Men at Arms, 219):


1879 год. Самое красочное подразделение афганской армии - Шотландская гвардия эмира Афганистана. Вроде все как настоящее - мундиры как у шотландцев, клетчатые килты, белые штаны :))



Текст из книжки: "Members of the Amir of Afghanistan's Highland Guard in 1879. The most colorful unit in the Afghan army, they art wearing Highland-style tunics, and chequered 'kilts' over white trousers and leather leggings. The rifles are Sniders. Note the officer with arms folded, right. (Bryan Maggs)"
