Military Uniforms
On this page, we want to show some examples of the variety of uniforms worn during the War of 1812 years. It is usually easy to spot the British and American Infantry, but confusion begins when there is green, white, and often black fringed uniforms on both sides. Click on each photo for a description.
Because our unit portrays Americans, we will begin with the U.S. Forces, followed by the British. We'll also show uniforms worn by the militia and other units.
If there are uniforms that should be included, please contact us and we'll research and add them.
