Hello all, first posting here so hope i get it right.
Question:
Musicians (buglers particularly) . .would they be seen with 'long arms' or simply with pistols? Would it be reasonably correct to see them with either 'in action' (picked up off the floor perchance?). What were they issued with? i've seen 'swords' mentioned in Sutlers catalogues!
Also i've seen illustrations of musicians in heavily 'frogged' jackets, worn 'in the field' or not? Thoughts/comments/observations/sources welcomed!
All the best
