Ratch Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Coldstream was the 2nd regiment of Guards Infantry and had buttons and laces in pairs. Their shoulders were decorated with dark blue wings (their facing colour) edged and decorated with white tape. All but two companies of the 2nd Battalion defended the chateau of Hougoumont while the 7th and 8th companies remained on the ridge with the Colours. Battalion company sergeants carried a pike as a mark of their rank. The Coldstreams wore white trousers at Waterloo. Regimental badges were carried on both the knapsack and the cartridge pouch. The officer of the Black Watch wears the Highland feather bonnet. His tunic was double-breasted. He has one epaulette on his right shoulder, a scabbard for his sword hangs from the crimson sash on his left hip. Grenadier companies wore white plumes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
