Thomas Finn might have been at the Alma but that uniform certainly wasnt. That is the 1855 double breasted tunic which was worn for only a few months before it was replaced by the more familiar single-breasted tunic. The new draftees sent out in spring 1855 wore the double breasted tunic. Very few of them survive due to their short lifespan.
