Uniforms Of Spanish Units At Talavera

(Spanish Text by José Manuel Rodríguez Gómez, Illustrations by Jose Maria Bueno)

Line Infantry of the Toledo Regiment


The picture presented here is for the dress uniform of this regiment in 1811. I could not find any source that allows me to represent these soldiers as they fought in 1809. The uniform shown is largely dependent on French fashion, that is, copying the French army models. Thus, this soldier is shown with a shako adorned with a green pompom. The jacket, of brown colour, already has very short skirts. The white breeches are similar to those worn before the war. Instead of boots, leggings, which were not previously used, cover the shoes.
