Officers and men of the 23rd Fusiliers in ordinary uniform and as equipped for the Gold Coast, 1873. 'The dress which has been substituted for ordinary regimental uniforms, in the attire of all the European soldiers ordered to the GoId Coast...may be seen in our front-page Engraving, contrasted with the uniform of the 23rd Infantry, Royal Welsh Fusiliers; the second battalion of that regiment having gone out to join this expedition. The new dress supplied by Government for the Ashantee campaign is a loose jacket and trousers, made of "Elcho tweed" (of which the uniform of the London Scottish Volunteers is also made), with a pair of brown canvas gaiters, and an Indian helmet, made of pith and canvas'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
