8th December 2002	John Young Glenn, Depends what uniform the model is actually depicting. Mail me with further details and I should be able to assist. I can also assist re-eye colour, hair colour etc. John Young, A.-Z.W.R.S.
10th December 2002	Dan Rudary Hi Glenn, The uniform worn by the Prince Imperial at the time of his death was the Royal Artillery Undress unifrom (patrol jacket). If you are making a model of his death, it might interest you to know that he had 18 assegai wounds on him when examined by Surgeon-Major Scott. If you would like more specific details about the skirmish with the Zulus that led to the prince's death, I can mail you a very good article on the subject. Your Friend, Dan
