Holstenske Skarpskyttekorps

2 battalions (first and second) took part in the campaign. The light troops had until 1810 been wearing dark green uniforms, but due to the blocades it was getting difficult to find enough green material. In 1810 the uniform was changed to dark grey. Both jacket and breeches became dark grey. Collar, cuffs, turnbacks, facings and shoulder straps were in regimental color. All were edged in white. The troops wore knee high boots and a shako. The shako had a green feather and green cords. All leather was black. The regimental color for Holstenske Skarpskyttekops was darkgreen. The regiment wore yellow buttons.
