Officers 1846

The facings of the 35th were scarlet up to 1832 when they were changed to white. The officers lace had been silver until 1831 when it was changed to gold. This print by Henry Martens was published in 1846, three years after the regiment had been converted to light infantry. The mounted officer has a forage cap and frockcoat buttoned down the front. He has gold edged shoulder straps, a crimson sash and black leather sword belt. His medal is for Jellalabad, issued by the East India Company.
The white facings can be seen on the collar and cuff of the standing officer who is in full dress. The saddle cloth of the mounted officer is also white and has the wreathed number 35 in the corner. The shako has a green ball tuft and this can be seen on the shakos worn by the sepoys in the background.
