Cigarette Card 1899


Gallahers produced a set of cards to depict Colours and guidons of the British Army in 1899. The guidon of the Royal Scots Greys in this card is crimson with a different design to the 1882 guidon. The eight battle honours are arranged with four on either side of the central device. WATERLOO is the second one down on the right instead of being placed near the Eagle badge.
