I am starting to be interested to another period and campaign: the British Campaing in Sudan (as well as the Second Afghan War); I decided hence to modify the Italian Private I already had for the Battle of Dogali in 1887 into a British Private of the Sudan Campaign. They are pratically contemporary.
The main differences are:
1) The lightly different cap (the Italian one did not cover the back)
2) the Italian Tricolore on the front of the cap.
3) The collars: upwards the British, downwards the Italian
4) The cartridge belt
5) The colour of the unifor, even though the Italian became kaki in 1888/1889
