The accoutrements of the 95th seem well recorded but not so much their brethern in the 60th. Does anyone know what disticntions the 60th's buglers wore or a source for the information?

I think they wore the same uniform with the addition of wings.

I believe the Doc is right – I think that wings were the bugler's distinction in both Rifle regiments – will try to check when I get home tonight

……suspenders and a bra?

No. Only the officers wore those.

Artilleryman – if you are still out there, my book on Wellington's army says the Rifle Corps buglers all wore Rifle Corps uniforms with black and white wings on their shoulders

Frederick,
Thanks for that. It seems to tally with what I have been able to find elsewhere.
