2021 THE SHANGHAI LIGHT HORSE

Uniforms to the Shanghai Volunteer Corps (SVC) are vanishingly rare, with only three extant examples known. According to a history of the SVC quoted by Annand, the Shanghai Light Horse's uniform was designed by Charles Danvers Whitty, who had served "in his uncle's Lancer regiment" sometime in the 1860s or '70s. The history says the uniform "closely approximat(ed) that of his old regiment" though the regiment Whitty served in remains uncertain.
