Royal Irish Fusiliers -- uniform colours?
« on: Tuesday 01 May 07 16:15 BST (UK) »
Hi

The folks on the Photo Restoration Board are asking about the R.I.F. uniform so that they can colour my picture of Sgt. George Goff and family.  I've searched, but can't find a full picture or description.  My photo is dated about 1893.

I will appreciate help with this.
