CBR01 is for the early period when the British infantry wore red coats - Zulu War primarily 

CBR21 is the Infantry in khaki - later Mahdist war/Omdurman, 2nd Boer War.

Then I guess the last ones are also the right choice for Infantry in Grey on the North-West Frontier?

Thanks!

I have a question about flags, Im new to the historical hobby as a whole (been into minatures and wargaming for 10+) and was wondering if the british carried there colors into battle (primarily zulu war) and if I should model them into my units?

hope to hear from you soon

One of the major differences will be the later figure waring puttees.


A little goes a long way

Pretty sure that Hollywood likes to display colours flying in the centre of British squares in the Sudan.
