Can You Give My Mountie a Red Jacket?

[chinakay]

Here's an original uniform, from the 1870s. The RCMP was called the North West Mounted Police until 1920.

Thank you all who have submitted mounties with red jackets!  There's some very good work here.  Thank you all for your time and trouble and glad the exercise is educating us about the Mounties! 

Time frame for the picture must be the 1890s - he was born in 1871.

Cheers, PP

Here is another pair of Mounties (from my file on the descent from the Mackenzie of Achiltibuie family at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~coigach/altimack.htm

Dudley suffers a bit from fuzziness; changes from size and resolution at fault, sigh....

Shall I spoil the party ?

I think they also dressed in blue !   

I don't think they would get their man , if they were dressed in bright red out in the wilderness !

Yeah!    That's what I thought too Jim.  Maybe the red was just a "dress" uniform.  Think he would look much more handsome in blue myself...the red whatever the shade, just doesn't work for me.

Princess,

I think he looks older than his twenties , so I would put it at turn of the century , for dating .
