 The uniforms for the redcoats worn in the parade sequence came from  the "Sharpe" TV series. There was no unit in the British Infantry at  the time with yellow facings on their collars and turn backs,  however Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe series created a  regiment from whole cloth called the "South Essex" which he  described as having yellow facings on their collars. The uniforms  were created for the Sharpes TV series, and were pulled from the  wardrobe department for this film.
