Looks like it is a drum, going by the colour plate in Ian Knight's book.

thanks Coll and John.
John as Coll suggested do you know of a book or website with info on insignia. i am working on a model of capt. Younghusband's last stand at Isandlwana and need to know the difference between his cuff insignia and lt hodson [if they differ in any way] or did collar insignia differ. many thanks |

Kelsard,
Why not do Younghusand in a scarlet unlined patrol jacket, and Hodson in a blue patrol jacket? Then you haven't got a problem, as officers below field rank didn't wear insignia of rank on the blue patrol jacket. Insignia of rank on the collar, if both in scarlet: Lieutenant - a Crown; Captain - a Crown & Star. There is no website, that I know of, which contains such information. John Y. |

thanks John .
seems the red for Younghusband blue for Hodson is the way to go. easy option really now i think about it. just one last favour do you think Hodson would have carried a sword in the field . |

Kelsard,
I'm sure that he would have done so. That being the case the sword belt & slings would have been worn underneath the skirt of the patrol jacket. John Y. |
