Summary
A Soldier's Tunic of the 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), Great Britain c.1905. A green, fulled wool jacket with yellow cords and white belt. The dark green colour refers Irish connections of the regiment's founder The Earl of Dunraven. This was Col. Ryan's own uniform. The fur-lined tunic below appears to have been made by Col. Ryan from one of his uniforms for fancy dress purposes.
