What was Gabriel's uniform at the start that was in the attic? Why was it blue, if he used to fight for the crown, should the uniform not of been blue?
And in what years did this take place? The war ended in 1776 yea?
I'm not sure you got it right. Gabriel's uniform is blue because he joins the continental army. The uniform in the attic is red because Benjamin, Mel Gibson's character, fought as a Captain with the British forces in the French and Indian wars.
There's a moral to this story Del Boy but for the life of me I can't find it!
