Hello,

I am trying to depict a drummer from the British 73rd foot - at the battle of Waterloo.

Can anyone tell me what the color of the drum should be? Is it green, to go with the facings of the cuffs and collars?

Also - I have found at this time that the drummer wore a standard red jacket - not the reverse green and red. Does this sound correct to you?

Many thanks!

Hi, here is a picture of the Drum and a link:

Another useful link: http://www.fifedrum.org/crfd/BD_1.htm

This should give you a base to start from.

Best Regards

Thank you SO much!

Cheers.
