Post by: FifteensAway on March 29, 2019, 03:33:51 AM: I think it is the angle of the photograph. Not quartered but a red cross dividing up the quadrants with the Union jack in the upper quadrant nearest the staff. At least, I believe that is the case. And maybe a wreath we can't see in the center.

Looks like a black and red quartered flag to me .

Post by: von Lucky on March 29, 2019, 10:03:08 PM: I can see how you see that, but below the Union Jack there's a horizontal strip of black (on screen about ~12mm wide by ~5mm high) and above the officer's head on the left of the photo there's a small triangle of black too.

Post by: Baron von Wreckedoften on March 30, 2019, 01:40:56 PM: At some point during the Napoleonic Wars, some (if not all) regiments with black facings adopted a white field for the regimental colours, and white coats for their drummers. As a result there is often confusion about whether this trend stretched back as far as the AWI, but it did not, so the colours and musicians' coats here are accurate.
