| Coldstream Guardsman's equipment as carried at Waterloo, 1815 (http://thomatkinson.com/) |
I found this via Slate Magazine. It's a series of photographs by the photographer Thom Atkinson of soldiers' equipent from 1066 to 2014. His website is http://thomatkinson.com/ and the pictures can be seen by clicking the last link in the right hand column.
The website is very sparse on commentary beyond the photo labels. There's more comment from this slideshow from the Telegraph, including annotation of every item in the pictures.
Fascinating stuff!
Had a look at these photos the other day. Very interesting!

That was superb, in never ceases to amaze me just how much kit they carried across the Falklands.
