When did British soldiers stop wearing red coats?

Linus

The famous redcoats of the British were first adopted by Cromwell's Parliamentary Army in 1645, and red continued as the general British uniform color for more than 250 years until changes in warfare required camouflage clothing. The British still preserve their traditional red in the scarlet tunics and cloaks worn by the Foot Guards and Life Guards at state occasions. http://www.qmfound.com/Army_Green_Uniform.htm May 31 03, 8:55 PM
