Something Stirs on the North West Frontier Part I

A large project looms.....

I've been going over previous research into the uniformology of the British Army and Indian Army during the Second Anglo Afghan War. It would seem that there is a lot more to learn so I would like to ask; if anyone has any information they would like to add please leave a comment below or contact me at:

Also, if you are putting together a British force for the Second Afghan War please feel free to use this as a resource.
