95th Rifles - Dress and Equipment

Also known as 95th Rifles Pt 1- The Dress and Equipment of the Rifleman in the Peninsular War

During the Napoleonic Wars the British Army realised that it needed skirmishers, as a result it raised 2 Rifle Regiments both armed with the icon Baker Rifle. This programme explains how the Riflemen of the 95th Rifles were dressed and equipped. It is an ideal accompaniment to our Series on the 95th Rifles.
