I have painted this unit to represent the 2nd Battalion from Nyasaland as pictured in Plate F in Peter Abbott's, "Armies in East Africa 1914-18". The uniforms are described as khaki, but the illustration shows something a bit lighter in color, which I copied here. Also of interest is the illustration shows a diamond shaped cap badge, while the text on page 45 states they should have a rectangular badge and 1st Battalion should have the diamond. I've again stuck with what is shown in the illustration.
Figures were obtained from Brigade Games. They are both well sculpted and cast.
