When I first saw the first pics I thought they may be wearing fezes, but now I see it is quite evident they are Brit type pill box hats.

Thanks for the new pic asomotif.

Yes, I would agree about the Brits be able to count on their colonial troops, perhaps, most impressively in the Sudanese Wars and Zulu Wars(irregulars not included). There is the Indian Mutiny of course, but that seems a bit of an anomaly.
