New Uniforms of the British Cavalry, 1856. '17th Lancers, Royal Horse Guards Blue, 1st Life Guards, 16th Lancers, 3rd Light Dragoons, 6th Dragoon Guards, 2nd Life Guards, Royal Horse Artillery, 2nd Dragoons...The principal alteration is in the substitution of the German frock for the coatee. Henceforth our stalwart Dragoons will wear a dress more in harmony with that of civilians; while in the disuse of epaulets, which is another distinctive feature, the officers, if they lose one of the symbols of their rank, will also be saved the coat of an expensive and not very handsome distinction. Gold lace, however, will not be dispensed with, as the Light Cavalry, with the exception of the Lancers, will wear five stripes of lace across the breast, as shown in the dress of the 3rd Light Dragoons. In the Royal Horse Artillery, the jacket is retained; but is longer and looser than hitherto'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
