Trooper, Cavalry Corps, Free State Army, 1938.jpg

The mounted elements of the Army wore a caubeen with black head band instead of the peaked cap. The Army badge is fixed to the right side. This trooper is part of an armoured car crew, mounted in a Rolls-Royce armoured car, of which 13 were used by the FS Army.

His jacket and breeches are standard issue. Corps badges are fixed to the collar ends of the former, and the latter are tucked into leggings polished to give a red hue.

His webbing equipment is all British in origin. The gasmask container worn on the chest remains in its original colour. The waist belt, and supports are coloured black, matching the revolver holster and ammunition pouch.
