This soldier represents a newly equipped member of the Oxford Army, who has enjoyed the benefits of a full clothing issue in the first part of 1643. He must have been first in line, as he has not only a red coat, lined in natural wool, red breeches and button fronted montero, but also a matching singlet, all with flat pewter buttons. Over the singlet, but under the coat, is a leather belt, which supports a box style cartridge pouch, a bullet bag, spare match and a sword hanger with tinned fittings for the issue pattern sword.

On his back is a leather snapsack, the dyed and sueded leather it is made from being probably initially intended for more fashionable purposes.

He has two pairs of hose, the outer pair, sewn from material of stouter construction, left loose, and closed sided shoes.

He carries a full length matchlock musket, but no rest.
