The public interest in the King’s Colonials was considerable thanks to their prominence in many parades and ceremonial occasions coupled with the richness of their Full Dress and Undress uniforms. These two postcards illustrate how the uniforms and demeanour of the King’s Colonials was expressed in caricature.
