Grenadier and Light Bob of the 29th

This print from Charles Hamilton Smith, shows two members of the 29th regiment of foot--a grenadier on the left and a light infantryman on the right. Both are wearing the uniform of home duty with white breeches and tall black gaiters.

Bother soldiers are showing a bit of the ruffled shirt peaking through the coat. The light infantryman wears a non-regulation waist belt--a widely documented light bob alteration that kept the cartridge box from moving around during tactical maneuvers.
