This morning I opened a military record of a soldier of the 15 ° line class 1855. And I found my article about tonight. This soldier to board on August 4 1855 for the Eastern Army, on the ship "Jupiter". He landed at Kamiesh, September 14.
So far nothing unusual, it is part of a regiment that took up the old regiments of the beginning of the season, he has not seen the last battles for Sevastopol.
Where things get interesting is in the part concerning the effects received. In the box on the first category (the clothes of uniform) it is stated, besides the usual hood jacket tunic, trousers police cap and shoulder, a flannel belt, an effect that is typical of special funds for Crimea or Africa.
Better yet, in the effects of second category (shako, leather equipment ...) is added to the pen
-bag camp: I have no idea what that might be?? a sleeping bag??
-cover: because there are already supplied I guess this is a second? Crimean-
: it is a modified hood and warmer, I'll try an article on the Crimean soon!
-Chéchia: evidenced by the photos of Fenton (see below) I think as a cap for winter camp?
Watch the second man in from the left! is a foot soldier for the fez!
-Leg Bulgarians large gaiters laced to the side and made sheep wool inside!
glove Knowing that the soldier has two pairs of white gloves, it should be of woolen gloves!
-Slippers: I have no idea what that might be?
-shoes: very convenient for the camp in winter, booties must go there I think!
