I see that the portrait for the 23rd Foot, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, has been changed so that he appears to be wearing a light dragoon hat. It would be better if the original figure, the same as the grenadier, was used instead. The current one just doesn't look right.

Thanks...my problem of understanding the need came from the fact that, for the French, this is not a mitre but a bonnet
The French mitre is exactly what was done in the latest fix....sometimes similar words cover different realities

Translating between the two languages is tricky enough with ordinary mundane topics - but when the topic is the minutiae of 18th c. military dress, I'm not surprised there are some oddities. Didn't know that about mitre/bonnet, myself.
