Green for the Reserve. Now that is interesting.
Even odder is that the Military Police wear red capbands, rather than cap covers, and that the generals do not have a distinguishing colour around the cap, and instead show it in the cap badge.
I notice that they still refer to the Cavalry Corps (with black bands on the caubeens). Do they still have horses for parade duty, or have they gone over entirely to armour?
In South Africa, the cavalry and mounted infantry all lost their horses during the Second World War, and no units retained the name cavalry.
However during the bush war, limited use was again made of mounted infantry, in special units.
Horses on parade in this country carry men (and women) in police uniform, and civilians, but not troops.
