Almansa Dragoon Regiment

Spanish Almansa Dragoon Regiment

Lieutenant, Almansa Dragoon Regiment. His grade is indicated by the epaulet on his right shoulder. The jackets and breeches of the dragoon regiments had a common yellow colour, but in addition, each regiment had its own facing colours for collar, cuffs and turnbacks. Note that this officer has the boots of the line cavalry. The silver adornment on the shoulder are not regulation. Perhaps because he was the lead adjutant to a superior officer.
