Redcoat

  
 

Red coat (British army) - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Red coat is a term often used to refer to a soldier of the historical British Army.

The uniform of most British soldiers during the late 17th, 18th and 19th centuries (other than artillery, rifles and some cavalry) included a madder red coat or coatee.

From 1872 onwards the more vivid shade of scarlet was adopted for all ranks, having previously been worn only by officers, sergeants and cavalry troopers.
