Would British rifle regiments in the 1860's have drummers? If so, what colours would the drums be?
thanks

The regimental museum of the Royal Green Jackets might be able to help:

They were the descendants of the 60th (The King's Royal Rifle Corps) and the Rifle Brigade and are, themselves, now amalgamated into The Rifles.
