Lets Design a Pub Sign! (Part II)

[Youngie]

'The Armoury' is a good old fashioned boozer in Yeovil... and guess what? They need a new Pictorial Sign. Regards subject matter nothing exciting really springs to mind so I thought I'd pick the brains of some wise and knowledgeable Gentlemen (...unfortunately I couldnt find any so I came on here instead)
Basically the cellar of the pub used to be a store for powder and amunitions and the current sign shows a chap loading a rifle rack with guns. Having chatted to the Landlord he mentioned the 16th Somerset rifle corp(light infantry? Volunteers?) not sure, all a bit vague I'm afraid.
So are there any Military minded buffs out there who would know the correct uniforms badges battalion names etc??
All advice/info greatfully accepted and feel free to pour scorn on my ignorance of the History of our Armed Forces!

Slightly straying but still on the subject of pub signs - this one will delight a few people.

Seriously.. what's with early closing times?

Yep, the 'no lager sold' is amusing, and I've often thought about a trip out to Annie's but never made it. An excursion for a choice of Adnams Bitter or, well, there is no or, only to find the place shut of an afternoon, would not have left me in the best frame of mind. I do, however, understand it to be something of a pilgrimage, so maybe one day...

Re similar signs, I knew I should've had a camera at Bedford's Wellington, where an external plaque announces ‘We are a real ale pub, No Fosters, No Stella, No Carling, No Crap’.

Well hopefully someone has some ideas, I loved the last one of these threads and I am still hoping Youngie will post all his pub signs onto Pubs Galore [hint] [hint].

For this and several other reasons, this relates to one of England's 'must visit' pubs (and Conrad added it to the site a few days ago...).

Forgot to Add what about a Picure of Knight in a suite Armour with various 16th century weapons, axe, dagger, spears, etc in the back ground

Better late than never!!
Thanks for all the advice Chaps, I decided to forgo the rather drab 'Man stocking Arsenal of guns image' and went with Alesonly's suggestion!!
