Information
concerning flags.
British
Infantry carried 2 flags: 1 "king´s colour"
which was the Union Jack with a regimental badge in the center,
and the "regimental colour" which in most cases displayed
a regimental or general badge on a cloth the same colour as the
regiments collar, cuffs and turnbacks.
Light Infantry
usually did not carry their flags in battle, as its typical
fighting tactics was in smaller groups or spread out over a wider
terrain.
Flag-poles were blackened and topped by a gilded spearhead. Cords and tassels were mixed gold and red.
Flagbearers were ensigns -
the youngest officers, the flags were guarded by 2 segeants with
their pikes.
