What is the historical correct placement of the drummers in a Prussian Battailon under FtG? And is the highest ranking officer on foot always on the right side of it or is he placed in the center?

According to this diagram, the officers are sprinkled behind the line and the drummers at each end. Note I'm referring to the battalion in firing line.

Thank you for the Information. I had conflicting sources about the drummers, and I guess I will place my drummer miniatures a little further back in line with the NCOs.

cheers
