Hi all,

I was wondering wether anyone has any information of the distinctives worn by the drummers of the 105e and 72e ligne prior to 1812.
I've not been able to find anything, but thought I'd try with the brains trust here before resorting to random colour selections.
Thanks in advance!

I have an illustration of a drum major of the 105th at about the time you are after. You can extrapolate from this for a drummer if there is no contradictory evidence.
