Military uniform + approx date anyone?

[Rachel Scand]

Hello
Sorry this is a bit faded. My iMac’s bust, so I’ve not yet restored it.

I believe it to be gt gran’s bro, William Henry, who was born in Scotland in 1858.
Any ideas please on the uniform and date please? 52599A7B-7FDD-4176-8FAB-1A3211C46A7F.jpg

No problem.
I asked on Rootschat and had the most amazing reply.
Thanks for looking.

You might want to wait until a military expert comes by Rachel? Not seen one on here today as yet.

The latest reply on Roots was from a real expert.

He goes into so much detail, it’s uncanny 😃 but I shall look out for any replies on here.



For anybody looking at this, it’s a theatrical costume.
The opera being Castle of Como.
