Uniforms Of Spanish Units At Talavera
(Spanish Text by José Manuel Rodríguez Gómez, Illustrations by Jose Maria Bueno)Marine Infantry
Marine uniform for service with the field army. His appearance is very similar to that of the line fusiliers in their arms and cut of their uniform. The major differences are obviously in the colour of the coat, which in this case is royal blue and red, like the Royal Guard (by special privilege granted to the Marines by the Crown). The collar of the coat has two anchors to mark its naval origin. The sword on his belt is not the same model as the infantry, but is shorter and thicker, used on board as a crude tool and in melee in boarding actions.
