Title: Can anyone identify this uniform please?
Post by: DianaMC on Tuesday 06 April 10 11:06 BST (UK)
The only clues I have are that it was probably taken around 1870.
Could be Ireland, Leicestershire or India.
Possibly 17th Reg.

Any help greatly appreciated

Sergeant, Infantry of the Line pre-1874.

The 17th had white facings, and he certainly has white facings to his collar.
